I would be intesested in what your book has to say about Saunders in Virginia in the 1600's. I believe my ancestor was a William Sanders or Saunders, married to an Elizabeth, in St. Peter's parish of New Kent County, VA, who had a son, William, in 1694. That is where I start, though I have records of many Saunders and Sanders arriving in Virginia during the 1600's. Some suggest that my ancestry if from an Edward Saunders and there are a couple of Edward Saunders in records as well, in Lancaster/Northumberland and Westmoreland Counties. There is also a William married to a Mary Hall in Nansemond County who were Quakers. And I know about the Saunders line that built Pembroke and married a Thorogood, granddaughter of Adam Thorogood. So, how complete is your book with regard to Saunders and Sanders in Tidewater Virginia in the 1600's.
