Hi Anne, I took, am of a certain age and am just beginning my writing career.

I am intrigued by your story idea because my ancestors were early Virginia settlers from England. My genealogy research has yielded only a tiny bit of information and I’m having difficulty going further back than 1805.

I hope you do “bother” to develop and write your story as I think there would be great interest in it.

I’m happy you found it useful, Anne!

Very useful information much of which can be applied broadly, for example the use of details in fiction.

I have a very good knowledge of early Virginia history and have toyed with a story set on the Virginia coast that would have a “bonded servant” as the protagonist
I have a real life ancestor to use as a starting point.

But I’m probably, at my advanced age, too lazy to bother.

Again I certainly appreciate your including this material in the newsletter.

You’re very welcome, Theresa!
