Sankofa Sprit is hosted a Preview Event at the Underground Railroad Quilt Code Museum Saturday January 27th 6-9:00 pm. 

We have lots of information on all of our families.
We now have copies of the documents that are also at the Family Life Center in Salt Lake City, Utah dating back to William Strother's purchase of land in 1669. 

The land now called Ferrys Farm was later sold to Augustine Washington who was GeorgeWashington's father. His other decendants include Charles Robb, General Patton, Zachary Tyler, President Taylor and President Jimmy Carter are all decendants of William Strother my ancestor.  

We celebrate the passing of Thomas Wilson Jr., my father's brother in Mayberry West Virginia! He is survived by Howard Wilson, Sammy Jefferson and wife, Bernice Wilson and family.

Serena & Howard Wilson (my parents) are healthy and recovered well from cancer treatments. Thank you for your prayers.

We also extend our prayers to Wayne and Nicole Perry for the passing of their little girl.
