Schweitzer Klassifikation
Timothy Kilby has always held a special interest in his family's history. As a fifth-generation direct descendant of James Kilby (c. 1740 -1829) of Culpeper County, Virginia, he shares this ancestor in common with the lineal descendants of Juliet Ann, the enslaved woman biographed in Gourdvine Black and White. Tim grew up in Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia, not far from the homesteads of his forefathers. He went on to earn a baccalaureate from Virginia Tech and a master's degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. Tim had careers in education, art, and information technology before retiring in 2014. He has devoted countless hours to the necessary research into the people and events recounted in this narrative.
