  • Notes 
    • The Cecils crossed over to England with William the Norman; and the family in the United States is said to be of the Lord Baltimore stock (Calverts), descendants of Sir William Cecil of England (Lord Burleigh). Samuel W. Cecil and his two brothers came in 1700, and settled in Maryland.

      Samuel W. married Rebecca White in Maryland, about 1750, and removed to the New River Valley in what is now Pulaski County in about 1760. He died in 1785 and his wife in 1815. They left a family of seven sons and three daughters. The sons, William, born in 1752, married Nancy Witten, and settled in Tazewell; Thomas, born in 1755, married Nancy Grayson, and went to Ohio; James married Miss Wysor; Benjamin married Priscilla Baylor and went to Kentucky; Zechariah married Miss Mitchell, and went to Kentucky; Samuel married Mary Ingram, and went to Missouri; Rebecca married James
      Witten, of Tazewell;' Malinda married Samuel Mitchell; Eleanor married Thomas Witten, of Tazewell.

      Zechariah Cecil, s/o Samuel W., married Julia Howe, daughter of Major Daniel Howe, from whom Daniel R. Cecil, of Giles County, Virginia, descends, and who married Ardelia Pearis, granddaughter of Colonel George Pearis, a soldier of the American Revolution, and first settler where Pearisburg station, N &. W. Ry. Co., is now situated.
