Society for Descendants of First Virginians
Eligible Ancestors for Order of Ancient Planters
Apr 10, 2009 Rosemary E. Bachelor
The Order of Descendants of Ancient Planters is among those lineage societies that include descendants of a very specific group of ancestors. It appears that some exceptions for the membership criteria have been made to include descendants of such early officials as Col. William Claiborne, who arrived in 1621.
The Society’s goals include honoring the memory and heritage of this select group of Virginia’s first settlers. It promotes both historical and genealogical research.
