Can someone please help? I have been trying to verify the parentage of my gg grandmother
Arianna “Virginia” Cary. I have a pedigree chart done by another member of the family,
now deceased, and I cannot get anything to match up. Either the dates are wrong and/or
the names are only partial.
My gg grandmother was:
Arianna Virginia Cary b. abt. 1830 at Pear Tree Hall d. 22 Apr 1886 married (1862)
Frederick Adolphus Kuper b. 28 Feb. 1826 at Chamble, CP, Quebec, Canada d. 6 Sep 1898 at
City Farm, HC, Virginia
Virginia’s parents: Miles Cary b. 1785 d. aft. 1817 married Arianna Digges Hill b. abt
1790
Virginia’s grandparents: Richard Cary married Catherine Dudley
Arianna Digges Hill parents: William Hill married Mary Digges
In the 1930’s the Farmville Harold wrote an article about my grandmother (William “Billy”
Kuper Stebbins Hubard) and photographed her standing in front of a portrait that she
painted of Virginia Cary, her grandmother. I have this article. Also the Kuper line is
well documented so I know that at least this much of the pedigree is correct. In fact,
the rest of the lines, Eppes, Wayles, Wilcox, Hubard, Trent, Moseley, Jones, Watson, etc.
lines are all correct.
Thank you in advance.
