Dear Richard -- sure wish I could connect. I am a descendant of Charles
Featherston\Featherstone born in England 1637 through his son Henry
Charles Featherston born abt 1680 in Henrico Co., VA who married
Elizabeth Walthall -- through their daughter Rebecca born abt 1722 in
Henrico Co., VA and who married Thomas Sadler. The name Featherston
passed down many generations both as a first or Middlename.
