The Bellamys of Early Virginia--Joe David Bellamy's book provides the historical context as well as the hard evidence for a clearer understanding of this quintessentially American family. It is based on over a decade of original research into the genealogy and family history of the early Bellamys in areas of Virginia where many of the vital records were destroyed in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. This book cites previously undiscovered sources, corrects many misconceptions, and puts forth compelling suggestions for further research. 333 pages. Over 100 pages of evidence-based genealogical trees that track the many Bellamy lines back to John Bellamy-I, who died in Virginia in 1729. Hardcover: $32.50. Paperback: $22.50.

Island in the Sky: Bellamy and Allied Families in Virginia and Maryland in the 1600s and 1700s--By Joe David Bellamy.

It provides overwhelming evidence that the first Bellamy arrived in Jamestown from England in the early 1600s, and it lists and describes the probable lives of several previously unknown Bellamys in Virginia in the 1600s and the allied families they married into, all from among the earliest known English colonists in North America.
