Descendants of John Veazey, 1647-1995

Ann Veazey Davis

There are 508 pages, indexed. It is case bound, hard cover, with 4 color cover. I have documented over 5,200 direct descendants of John, plus spouses, and in many instances the in-laws. It begins with the first John who built "Cherry Grove" on Veazey's Neck in Cecil County, MD. It follows his three grandsons who immigrate to Granville County, NC, ca. 1750. Thence I follow Veazey migrations to Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, and Kentucky. I believe there were several migrations of Granville County residents to Hopkins County, KY, beginning in the 1840's and including the four Veazey brothers who came after 1850 and before the 1860 census. The four brothers, sons of Mark Veazey were: John Comer Veazey; James Lewis Veazey, Mark M. Veazey, and Andrew Jackson Veazey. They were first cousins to my great-grandfather, Squire Alfred Moore Veazey. I believe at least one sister, Mary, who married William Parrish also came to Hopkins County, KY. James Lewis Veazey married Elizabeth Waller, who also had roots in Granville County and prior to that the Delmarva area, as did the Veazey family. All four of these pioneer families are buried in the old Veazey cemetery in Hopkins County that is maintained by J. Leroy Veazey of Hanson, KY.

The cost of the book is $45, plus $5 for shipping and handling = $50. I always send them out by "Priority Mail."

I have continually updated and added relatives to my database in the past three years since the book was published. I would be happy to do lookups to let anyone know if their family is covered in the book. I usually include an ancestor chart with the sale of a book, which enables a relative to see at a glance how they fit into this family.

The book is organized in generations (which is the way my database program gave it back to me). I manually added a number system beginning with the 1st John being #1, etc. If I have additional information about that person I have marked him with an * meaning to look in the next generation where that number will be included in (....) and their children under them, etc. My goal was to use a system that an average layman could enjoy their ancestors without a degree in genealogy and a migraine headache! From the feedback I have gotten from all of my cousins, I believe I succeeded in this.

A copy of this book is in the Hopkins County Genealogical Society Library.
