Excerpt from Hopkins of Virginia and Related Families Particular attention has been given to the earlier generations and no attempt has been made to give full genealogies of all the families treated in the book. However, a foundation is laid upon which each descendant may build and attach his own line to the main stem of the branches mentioned herein. Due to the frequent duplication of names among contemporaries, the very little which has been printed on the families, and the de struction of many priceless county and private records in Virginia, especially in the eastern part of the state, by the Federal Army during the War Between the States, the work is naturally not free from errors; however, every effort has been made to insureits accuracy. Rl'he reader must bear in mind that the writer is not a genealogist, and that these records were collected during the spare moments of his busy life. It is unlikely that the first edition of any work on genealogy is free from mistakes, for the compiler of a genealogy, to a great extent, must be guided by what the members of the families send him, and this is often incorrect; consequently, the compiler can only be guided by his best judgment, trusting to future historians to discover any errors and to correct them.

"With a comprehensive study of libraries, archives, court houses, churches, land offices, maps and histories of nations and people the story of the William Nash and Anne Hopkins family comes to life in this book. The amusing and often tongue-in-cheek manner in which Bill Nash tells the story gives the reader a clear picture of the family saga. From the 1635 sailing from London to the present, this is the story of a courageous and proud people. Much more than just charts and lineages, “Our Nashes” intertwines the history of this nation with the Nash family into a hard-to-put-down volume."
