Ruth Speer and Vanderfordfamily.com

While researching the Ford family, I found this website: www.vanderfordfamily.com

My husband is a descendant of Ruth Speer (b. 1809, Scott Co., VA), daughter of Joshua Speer and Ruth Vandever/Vanderford. This website tracks the Vanderford family backwards to a Michael Paul Vanderford supposedly born around 1610 in Flanders, who lived on Manhattan Island. It says that he helped to build the wall for which Wall St. gets its name! Very cool!
