Edwin Byrd Fountain.....I know that John Fountaines arrived in VA in 1634 he had a son Edmond and Edmond had a son John and He had a son named John, known as the Elder. He was given English citizenship in 1690 or 92....His sons were Henry who went west into Texas, etc...Thomas, who never married and William who moved to Darlington Co. S.C....he had a son Alexander (many others) who married and had a son Thomas Ervin(Irvine...Scotsman) who had a son named Thomas Theodore, whos had a son named David Theodore, my father....Edwin Fountain....
I have three brother (only 2 living) but from them there are at three more generations and plenty of males. So I am 10th generation to be born in America and 11th generation to live here. in the family we have a 13th generation born here and they are 14trh generation living here. In 2034 only 30 years away they will celebrate the 400 anniv. of our arrival.

I was amazed...and I think more and more people should wonder about their family....history isn't far a way....I always think of my maternal grandmother who was born 1847, i.e., before the Calif. god rush and she was my grandmother....we cover she died 101 years ago but in 3 generations we have covered 157 years already. History never ceases to amaze me. The past is only yesterday and it is
still whispering down the centuries to us.

Sincerely
Edwin B. Fountain
