Sometimes, I get hyperfixated on genealogy. I'm definitely no expert, but I do my best to be as accurate as I can. Here are my oldest ancestors I've found, so far, that I can confidently trace.
- Samuel Davis I (Jan 24, 1610 - April 22, 1667)
- b. London, England, d. Colony of Virginia
- William de Irwyn of Wodehouse (c. 1195 - 1205)
- William de Irwyn (c. 1260 - 1333) is an honorable mention, as he became known as Alexander I, as was the first Laird of Drum.
- Geni.com, which is not necessarily a trustworthy source, says that his father was "William or Gilbert." Since I don't know which, I'll end it there.
- The first mention of an Irvine (or variation thereof) in Scotland, that I can find, is a Crinan Eryvine. According to ScotClans, he "married the heiress of Malcolm II. Their son was Duncan who became King Duncon who is murdered at the beginning of Shakespeare's play MacBeth."
- William Green Omohundro (1764 - 1823)
- William is the oldest ancestor I can confidently confirm, but evidence does point to his lineage going all the way up to Thomas Mohun of 1500. However, I cannot be sure yet of those sources.
- George E Robinson (1826 - 1855)
- b. Tennessee, United States; d. Mississippi
- Sam "J.J." Sexton (1842 - 1870)
