Hello Joan. From my research this far back, lots of conflicting info out there. This would be my 8th-Great Grandparents - #1 Stephen Sebastian (b.1653) came to Maryland in 1674/75. His rights were proven June 15, 1675. How much time between his arrival and proven rights?,I don't know, but,I think he came with wife Elizabeth and infant son Stephen Jr.(b.1674). Still looking for ship list. Stephen Jr may have been born in England or on board ship. I have 3 other children. A short time later, the family moved across the bay to Stafford Co. Virginia.

7th Great Grandparents Stephen Jr. married Elizabeth(mnu-maiden name unk)probably in Stafford Co Va. I have 1 child- Isaac Sebastian (b.1705 - d. 1735)

6th Great Grandparents Isaac Sebastian married Rachel Spicer(b.1707) Child - Stephen Sebastian(III) (b.1731 -d.1785) Only tied 1 child to this couple. Info found they both died around 1735??

5th Great Grandparents Stephen Sebastian(III) married Elizabeth Isaacs probably 1749. 2 children - Benjamin (b1750 in VA) I believe this family then moved to North Carolina. 2nd child - William Sebastian (b.1759 in Wake Co. North Carolina.

4th Great Grandparents William Sebastian married Sarah Sally Embry in 1784 probably in North Carolina. They then moved to Madison Co. Kentucky. I have 5 children, of which Wiley is the 3rd child and my 3rd great grandfather.

From here on I have a prepared genealogy from Great Uncle Ernie that he did in 1933 that has been passed down through the family. I also have birth,death and marriage records that I have gotten.
