Clan members who have ancestors transported from various countries now
are trying to get the folks off the boats and into the colony of Virginia.
Is anyone familiar with "landing certificates" that were required for transported 
people and where some might be?  In a Cavaliers and Pioneers issue, Thomas
Ferguson was transported in 1630 [C & P, Patent Book 1, Part II, page 108 - 
Thomas Fargason - Chas. City Co.] 

We have formed a research group which we have entitled the 1700 Club based 
on the Census information where birthdates have placed individuals born during 
the 1700's.  With the DNA Projects, we now are getting a picture of who may 
be an ancestor.  

Another item of interest is the "Traveling church" which was led by Lewis Craig 
of families who were uncomfortable with the official religon of the colony.
It must be said that many traveled with the church in search of land in 
Kentucky.  Are there any records of who may have migrated with this bunch?
