Some History on the Sands name

I have found the Sands family first in Surry county Virgiana in 1732, I have not been able to find anything further back than that, but assume from other findings that the family came to America from England circa 1600's. The Sands name was originally spelled Sandys and there was a Sir Edwin Sandys and a George Sandys that came over with the group that settled what is now Jamestown Virginia. I have record of some of the Sands that I know is part of our family that spelled their name this way in the record of the birth of their daughter.
