How do I find info on a relative from the 1700's in VA ?

He came over to fight in the war and was only about 10 and was captured and held until he was of age. We know about the family that came from him but not of his family before he came to America.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I would start by checking out the UsGenweb Virginia website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/... from that you may have more information to help start checking passenger ship lists.
Ancestery.co is also a great website but they want you to join.
