"The Sons and Daughters of Sams" book is based on Dr. Crawford F. Sams' book, ÒSams Family of VirginiaÓ and his book served as the foundation in the writing of this book. As each new discovery was unearthed through corresponding citations, speculation from Dr. Sams' research has developed into scores of new branches. This book is a collaborated effort by scores of genealogists. There are hundreds of "Courtesy of..." sources as well as census files corresponding to the individuals and families of each generation.
"The first male Sams to immigrate to the 'New World' was William Sams born 10 Feb 1621 on Fleet Street in London, England. . .Ó ÒBased on all available records, it is considered most likely that William Sams is the progenitor of the Sams family line in Colonial Virginia."
