Dear Tim,
John Hux twice testified he was born in 1612/13. He was in the Virginia Colony by 1634. He was a planter, a gentleman when the term meant one above the level of a commoner, a member of the Church of England,and was a vestryman at Southwarke Lawnes Parish. He died between 1666 and 1668. All of this is a matter of record
Joane Gray Hux was born in 1618, and is the daughter of Thomas Gray. Both are survivors of the massacre of 1622. Thomas Gray was an Ancient Planter, meaning one in the Virginia Colony before 1618. He owned close to a thousand acres on what was first called Smith's Creek, then Rolfe's Creek, and has been called Gray's Creek, after him, since the late 1600's. He was married three times - to Annis Unk, Margrett Unk, and Rebecca Unk, who was a midwyfe, and once testified in a witchcraft trial. John Hux's land was very close to Thomas Gray's. All of this is a matter of record.
Joane Gray Hux predeceased her husband, John Hux. Both survived the massacre of 1644, and John MAY have survived the great hurricane of 1667. At the time of his death John Hux was married to Mary Unk., and they had a minor son named John Hux Jr.. Mary was a widow when she married John Hux, and following his death, married John Harloe, a boatwright. All of this is a matter of record.
John and Joane Gray Hux's daughter, Mary Hux, married Thomas Ironmonger. He and brother John MAY be sons of a Thomas Ironmonger who arrived in the colony betwen 1622 and 1624/5. This too is a matter of record.
Mary Ironmonger, daughter of Thomas and Mary Hux Ironmonger, married Samuel Alsobrook Sr.. He was transported to the colony by a man named Harrison. (I'm writing from memory, and have forgotten his first name.)
The history of the Alsobrook family is throughly researched and well documented from Samuel Sr. until present times.
The cardinal rule of genealogical research is to accept nothing as true, and report nothing as fact, until you yourself have verified it from source documents. Acceptable source documents are limited and specific. They don't include internet postings, family legends, old books, the I.G.I., W.F.T., or numerous other things often cited as sources on the net.
Most people who actually do research, as opposed to those who merely collect other people's research results, don't cite their sources, or give much information, on the net. The reasons are that their work is often picked up by people who then sell it on commercial sites, often plagarized by others, and often misquoted and/or misconstrued.
Your true family history can only been learned from what's often years of persistant researching in genealogical libraries, and in on-site research is areas where family members lived. It can also take years just to learn how to do the resarch. There are many pitfalls! If you try and do genealogical research on the internet, you're far more likely than not to end up with a family history that's far more fiction than fact.
I very much hope you're doing, or are interested in doing, research. If so, I'll be glad to work with you. If not, I'll share interesting facts about our shared ancestors with you, and will try and answer any questions you may have.
Always,
Lynn
