I would like proof of this John Word, and John Word Jr. who m. AnnChiles. I have the book b y Mary Florence Word, "John Bryson Word, hisancestors and descendants" ( he was my gr-gr-gran dfather) and I alsobought a Word Family Tree from the Va. Archives which was a Xerox copy inf our sections that is about 28 inches by about 5 ft. very impressive butno proof for the firs t 2 generations from the i mmigrant John Wor (Word?) in 1652 to the birth of Charles in 1710 . Can anyone fill in this gapwith proof for the years from 1652 to 1710?
I am a descendant of Charles Word, New Kent Co. Va. I am seeking proofthat he is descended fr om the immigrant listed in Greer's " early Va.immigrants" as John Words, sponsored by Nathani el Bacon, al so proof ofhis son John being married to Ann Chiles. All published reference s I havefound regarding this Ann Chiles spells her husband name as Ward. St.Peter's Parish re cords lists the birth of Cha rles b. 1710, and John b.1738, Charles b. 1740. Charles is my li ne and he was killed in the battleof Kings Mountain. He and brother John fought under Col. Wa shington andsurvived the battle in which Gen. Braddock was slain, and most of theEnglish an d americans were wiped out. They were called the Va. Blues, andI can find nothing about tha t militia.
