My ancestors came over in about the 4th or 5th boat to arrive on our shores. They came from England. Two of my antecedents were in the 1st and 2nd Houses of Burgesses.
My first English arrived in 1630 to MASS with Wintrops Fleet..
I was in Boston this summer and learnt that Boston dates from 1630 and that “fleet”
So my ancestors were there at the founding
:)
Gov Wintrop had 11 ships with about 1,00 people from Suffolk, Gloustershire and some other county in England..
the Mayflower of 1620 was one of the ships..
I have the list of all 11 ships if someone wants them...
My ancestors moved to New York colony later...
My ancestors to New York City arrived on the first ship the Neuiw Nederlandt in 1623..
and then I had ancestors on one of “the First Four Ships” to New Zealand Dec 1850..
We're probably related.
