This gentleman is a very important figure in the early history of Virginia--the first British Colony.There is a brass rubbing of him in Bruton church in Jamestown.He was responsible for making the tiny settlement prosper and was governor several times and immensely popular.The link with the Offley family--Staffordshire landowners near Audley----leads me to suspect a link with us.We can all research this by going to www.yahoo.com and then typing sir george yeardley in the space before the word 'search'.You will then have loads of info to help unearth the secrets.You are invited to share your findings on this board.Sir George has many Americans claiming to be related.Once we track him down they will have a whole lot more.I can see a joint reunion in Williamsburg sooner than we think.
