Ancestors of Rebecca Banks Edmondson

Rebecca Banks Edmondson (Levi Branham's "Miss Beckie") was the grand-daughter of Thomas Banks and his second wife, Betty Chandler. Rebecca's father, John, was born while they lived in Granville County, North Carolina, along the south side of the Tar River.

The Banks family moved down into Georgia at the end of the 18th century after about twenty years in North Carolina, and before they were in North Carolina they were in Virginia.

Here's a surprisingly nice Ken Burnsian-type (home-made version) video that some Banks relatives have made about the family's history. The focus of the video is Thomas Banks, who was Rebecca's grandfather.  The video's makers based their account solely on documented research, always a good thing. And they have done a careful job of establishing the historical context of the migration from Virginia into Georgia.
