Greetings from edlaw@engr.uga.edu

I am seeking information on my Gx5 Grandfather WILLIAM LAW according to Old Parish Register b.4 Jan 1690 in Kemnay son of JAMES LAW b. before 1669 in Scotland. Supposedly William emigrated to James River, Henrico County, Virginia; m. 1715 Elishaba (Elisabeth) Lawson in Bristol Parish, Henrico County, Virginia; d.1733 at Westover Plantation on James River, Virginia.
