Kirkham Lancashire to colonial Virginia
The Stith trunk. Major John Stith Sr. was born in Kirkham Parish Lancashire around 1625, emigrated to Virginia by 1652 with a 500-acre land grant in Charles City County, rose to major in the colonial militia, supported Berkeley during Bacon's Rebellion 1676, served as Burgess for Charles City 1686. His daughter Anne Stith married Col. Robert Bolling (the second wife, founding the White Bolling line). His specific parents in Kirkham are unknown despite decades of search; the Robert Stith and Mary Townsend attribution circulating online is debunked.
