I believe that my Beavers family in Loudoun County, VA, is from the Beavers

Alice, do you mind sending your email address to me so we can discuss some of these names more?
Some of my lines are:
Samuel Holcombe/Eleanor Barber (1711);Samuel Holcombe/Sarah Emley (1745); Thomas Holcombe/Mary Quick (1787)
I need verification of those birth dates and places of birth.
Teunis Quick/Catherine Phillips (1731); Tunis Quick/Rhoda Prall (1763);Mary Quick/Thomas A. Holcombe (1790)
I need birth places for all of these names.

I am hoping you can help me. Some years ago I was told that a son of Jabob
Everitt (Ebert) was born 15 bJUL 1766. The record of baptism was said to be
found in a church (Presbyterian???) The church was in Alexandria(?spelling) near
Flemington. I have moved a number of times since I received the message and
can no longer find it. I would very much like to confirm this source also was
the mother named-were there sponsers, is the church still active etc. I would
appreciate any help you may give. Willi
There are many different theories about the ancestry of Col. Beavers, none of which is the final word on the subject.
Here is a site that has a lot of information on Col Beavers Some of the information about the colonel was provided by myself to the owner of the site. I do not trust the work of Harold Sonn as far as the colonel's past or his brief synopsis of the Col's service during the war (which I find imaginative), but find Sonn's work of the descendants of colonel Beavers very reliable.

As some of you may know, I have been actively researching and documenting
the New Netherlands ancestry of the WILLIAMSON family of Hunterdon Co. Some

Sorry to bother you, Claire, but you don't give an email address for
John Gower. I would like to suggest that since he knows the names, he
put notices on the appropriate Rootsweb surname mailing lists. It might
be a good short cut to finding descendants.

Hi,
I was hoping it's not too late to request. I'm looking for Holcombe & Emley
families. I'm not sure what years are covered or even what the book is all
about; I missed the original email. But if you need me to narrow it down with
names or dates, I'll be a happy to do so.
Thanks for the offer!
