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..

Your ancestors were hot to get the heck out of England, it seems——LOL!

Mine were from Gloustershire and Somerset, Salem, 1628, Conn, 1630, Hampshire Grants, Upstate NY and Vermont, 1740’s.

The rest were Scots Irish along with a few real harps, 1730’s Alabama and Mississippi via the Carolina's and Penn after the Revolution. Some ended up in VA, no has a clue why.

Roger that. Mine go back to the mid 1600’s in the Hudson Valley area of New York and most of the folks there were of Dutch origin. Lot’s of Van Xxxx’s and other Dutch sounding names for sure. Looking at the roster of the New York militia from the revolution from that area, I didn’t see many Italian looking names. I think the map is a load.
