------------------------------------------

My intent is to publish three generation descendants reports for each of the children of Samuel and Mary Ann (Underhill) Vaux. That will bring information about these families into the 20th century but will not include information on possibly living people (if I can help it). While I have some biographical material gleaned from various sources, including personal correspondence, for many of these families, I'm only going to publish the "bare bones" information about these families.

My purpose in putting these family summaries on this blog is to make my information about these families available for other researchers and distant relatives to find, with the hope that they will contact me and provide even more family information about the families.

If anybody reading this has information on these families, please contact me via email at rjseaverATcox.net and we can correspond and exchange information. If anybody has additions or corrections to my information, I would appreciate hearing from you!
