Family


I have a beautiful daughter that lives out of state, and two grandchildren and one great grandchild. Photograph to the right..
I am blessed to still have my mother who is up in years and i lost my grandmother who died at age 101. I have researched my family tree extensively and have traced my Hatcher family to early colonial days in Virginia, He came from England and was a headstrong fellow, fined by the king for saying his mind. Wonder where i got that trait.

This is a photo of my greatgranddaughter, who's name is Miss Elizabeth. She carry's the prefix as she is the first Elizabeth in my direct line since May 1796 when Thomas Jewell married Elizabrth Graham right here in Botetourt County, Virginia.

I grew up in Montgomery County, went to school in Riner, Va. I graduated in a class of 16 students in 1963. I bet this was the smallest class in history of the school.

I have a half brother and three half sisters.

I moved to Pennsylvania and lived there for 30 years more or less and after the death of my second husband in 1994, I came back to Botetourt County to live. I took a waitress job to decide what to do and have an income till I could get my head together. Eight years ago I was able to secure a job with the Botetourt County Library system, in Fincastle Library. I have made many friends and acquaintences in the Library.

I enjoy Genealogy, and Computer.
