The Dishman Family of Virginia
This database present detailed genealogical data for many ancestors and descendants of Samuel Dishman (Duchemin), emigrant from France to America sometime prior to 1693. He settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, with his half-brother Isaac Duchemin and was naturalized in the Colony of Virginia under the anglicized name Dishman. In addition to direct ancestors and descendants of Samuel Duchemin, the database includes spouses, siblings, and some related families.
This database also includes detailed data for my paternal ancestors beginning with my grandparents James Samuel Dishman and Betty Bell Grigsby. They lived in King George County, Virginia, not very far from where the original immigrant Samuel Duchemin first settled, and they were the last Dishman family to live there.
You can get detailed information about the individuals in this database using the Surname Index or Search buttons available on the menu. Selecting Persons of Note from the menu will take you to a list of known Immigrants, Patriots, and those ancestors that served in the military during various conflicts.
My maternal ancestors are documented in a seperate database that can be accessed by selecting Mitchell Family Database from the main DishmanWeb homepage.
