My ancestors came to Massachusetts in the 1630's so you certainly moved in on my butt!

And if BS was money you would be a billionaire.

I swear on my father's grave. I am currently in touch with my ancestors who are from a small village in England. My grandmother started the research years ago and used that to locate a web page from the "family" in England who was looking for their family in America.

That's pretty damn convincing. My ancestor was a ship Captain from Sunderland, England who was given a grant of land on the Patuxent River by the King. A relative did a the research and wrote a book about the family.

So your ancestor most likely ferried many people from England to America during the Great Migration period of the 1630's. My ancestor left England sometime prior to 1638 although exact records for when he departed in the 1630's is not known. Many people used aliases. He lived in Northbourne, Kent County, England and ended up in Massachusetts. His brother left England in 1638. They both ended up in Rhode Island where they helped Roger Williams set up the first township. Do you know who's side of the Revolution your ancestor fought on?

Many of my female relatives are members of the daughters of the American Revolution. As best I can tell my ancestors were all supporters of the Revolutionary War.

I imagine if they hadn't been, they would have left for Canada or England.

Must have been an amazing time for so many. An adventure moving to a new world. I wish I had lived back then.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, only about 20% of the loyalists left the new United States.

Hopefully those who remained weren't persecuted to bad by the Americans.

I have to wonder how many British soldiers agreed with what the Americans were doing but were to afraid to defect?
