I am interested in the Epes surname, as it is part of my family background, also. I read with interest a list of Children Ordered Sent to VA 1618-1642. (Not all of these children were orphans.) The name of Peter Epes was among the children who immigrated to VA in 1631. If interested, the site is
www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ . There is a very interesting discussion of fraudulent research, also, which should be read by every genealogist.
Good luck and best wishes to all!
