ENGLISH JOHN BETHEA  Sailed across Atlantic from England and married the Widow lady named Upton. He arrived by ship at Norfolk, Virginia and lived for awhile in that state.  He was born in 1684 in England. John died sometime after 1750.This is a history of the descendants of an Englishman who crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Great Britain to Virginia about 1700. The Bethea family expanded and grew over the last three hundred years, first under the English King in the  North American Colonies, and then as patriots in the Revolutionary Independence effort of the United States of America. Afterward the family members spread from coast to coast. Beginning with " English John  Bethea ", this is the story and pictures of his descendants. Click Here to see the first known document from "English" John Bethea , A land deed for his 150 acre plantation given to his son Tristram Bethea(2). 

There have been a number of questions about the Rogers family and their connection to the Betheas. We are including many of the Rogers descendants, as their family married with the third generation of Betheas in North America
