Kith and Kin

When the various branches of our family left the colonies and moved inland about 200 years ago, many of the branches of our families lost track of us and we lost track of them.  Hopefully, this website will help us to reconnect and to add new information to our family trees.  As all genealogists know, genealogical information is subject to change as new facts are learned.  Although we can verify much of our information, some of the information on this site has not been personally verified by us.  Please contact us for identification of specific sources that were used or regarding information that is in need of change or additions.  We would be happy to add descendents of any individuals listed on these pages.   In deference to privacy, we do not include living generations on this site.     grahamstrader@yahoo.com

 

To our “branches” everywhere we salute you with this quotation from Richard Llewellyn.

 “I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me, those who are to come.  I looked back and saw my father, and his father, and all our fathers, and in front, to see my son and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond.

And their eyes were my eyes.       

As I felt, so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and forever.   Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning, and no end, and the hand of his father grasped my father's hand, and the hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand, and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was, to Time That Is, and Is Not Yet raised their hands to show the link, and we found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man, had in the Image, fashioned in the Womb by Will of God, the Eternal Father.
