Hello, Shirley:
I come from a long line of Warings, via my grandmother, from
Essex Co. VA. The progenitor of the line was a Thomas
Waring who first appears in public records in what was then Old
Rappahannock Co. VA, in 1673. It is believed he was born about 1655 in
England. The family carries the
Arms of the Warringstown Warings in Co. Down, Ire. So, we suspect he descended from the
Lancashire Warings. You mentioned that your John
Waring was also know as Thomas. Do you know what happened to him. Could he possibly have been our Thomas "the Immigrant" who appeared in VA Colony in the middle to last half of the 17th Century?
Will appreciate your information and views.
