Descendants of Jeramiah Stokes
This page of North Carolina Stokes information comes courtesy of Paul, to whom all connecting information and/or questions on this material should be addressed.  Paul would especially appreciate any information on the ancestry of Jeremiah Stokes.

Here's the full Stokes information that I have.  I still haven't been able to get any information back from Exum/Jerimiah, but I'll keep looking.As far as I know, at
least the first 3 Generations are all NC (Bertie, Hertford, Northampton, and Gates Counties).  When you get past the first 3 generations, I'm not sure. By the way, Jim (Catfish) Hunter the Hall of Fame pitcher is a Stokes through Lucy Thomas Stokes and William Hunter.
