    Notes:

    Edward and Eleanor had several children that I have listed in MRIN 16884. Both Edward Sr. and Edward Jr. were overseers of one of the farms on George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation called "the Muddy Hole".

    Offspring of Edward and Eleonor married into some very prominent historical families such as the famous Hite family of colonial Virginia. A son of Edward Jr. and Elizabeth Hite is said to have been born at Harpers Ferry, Virginia on March 1st, 1801. Descendants of this Violett line reside today in Kentucky, Virginia, Idaho, North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Utah, Montana, New York, Maryland. Illinois,Colorada, California and Texas.

    These Violetts have spelled their name: Vyolet, Vilet,Violet, Violett and Violette.

    Some genealogists have said that William Violett came to America during the Huguenot migration, but no proof has yet been found.

    Several years ago I was in touch with a retired Navy Admiral from Annapolis who claimed to have traced his Violett family all the way back to England and William the Conqueor in 1066 AD.
