If you want to PM me some info, names, dob, area lived / born in I'll see what I can dig up. It's got to be a lot easier for me over here as I know of the top of my head what district is next to another, and also google automatically comes up with the country you live in.
Be aware though, not everyone who went to the colonies went of their own free will, and some of the one's that did had good reason to go

I'm not sure if you can go back any further, my grandparents did a great job with the family tree,as I am finding out. Looks like the first sir name was sir Adam de Hocton back in 1200.
But the first record is of a man named Herverus,who went with the train of William the Conqueror.
I just added "bits of Houghton history" to the binder I have, as there is all kinds of info there that I don't have. Hobb knobbing with Shakespeare,and the King naming sirlion at the castle,awesome stuff!
There is a footnote, that says we are decendants of Ralph,one of the brothers of John and Ralph, that came over here as boys.
This goes back a little further - Person Page 34841 . One of the problems being spelling of names, no-one seemed to bother so long as it was near enough. Hmmm, it seems we've gone full circle the way youths spell nowadays. I'll see what else I can dig up, remember, if I find you own Buckingham palace I want a drink
Very interesting stuff. Does this mean Doug may be an actual Lord of the swamp?
ADAIR TRACKS, WITHOUT 'EM YOUR JUST SPINNING YOUR WHEELS
