Pedigree

This is the tomb of Edward Stevens, 1523 to10/22/1587.  He is my 11th Great Grandfather on my Grandfather Shaw's mother's side of the tree.  His tomb is in Estonchurch, Gloucestershire, England.

This line I have been able to follow through great records to 1058 in England to my 26th Great Grandfather, Thomas Fitz-Stevens.  They were among the ruling classes of England during the time that included some Esquires and Barons.  The line follows down through to Sutton's of Virginia who were among the early prominent settlers of the country.  The line moves down through the Hardee's and Hollingshead's to my Great Grandmother Maude Francis and to the Shaw line.
