FRANCIS MARBURY TIMETABLE FROM LOUDOUN CO

The purpose of this report is to show the movements of the Marbury family from Maryland to Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and as they spread out throughout the south. I have included some of the events of the American Revolution to help the reader to better understand how these events may have caused the Marburys to react and relocate. Unless specifically noted, relationships are not proven.
