First Families of Virginia (FFV) were those families in Colonial Virginia who were socially prominent and wealthy, but not necessarily the earliest settlers. They descended from English colonists who primarily settled at Jamestown, Williamsburg, the Northern Neck and along the James River and other navigable waters in Virginia during the 17th century. These elite families generally married within their social class for many generations and, as a result, most surnames of First Families date to the colonial period.

  • Col termine di prime famiglie della Virginia (in inglese: First Families of Virginia, abbreviato talvolta in FFV) si definiscono quelle famiglie della Virginia coloniale che erano importanti a livello sociale e per ricchezza, ma non necessariamente i primi insediatisi nell'area. Discendevano tutte dai coloni inglesi giunti per primi a Jamestown, Williamsburg, The Northern Neck e negli insediamenti lungo il James River e altri corsi navigabili della Virginia nel corso del XVII secolo. Queste famiglie elitarie generalmente tendevano a sposarsi all'interno della medesima classe sociale e per questo, per diverse generazioni, in particolare nel periodo coloniale, i cognomi ricorrenti dei personaggi famosi furono sempre i medesimi.
