Cool! Had a lot of fun tracing my family tree. Apparently my Mortons landed in Virgina in about 1675 and the Robinsons weren’t too far behind.

My earliest ancestor, de Bompasse, came over on the Fortune in 1621.

The next was Thomas Minor in 1629.

Some in 1738 on the St Andrew. They settled in Pennsylvania in time for the Indian Wars. Then he and his son were in the Revolution.

Some of my ancestors I've had trouble tracing even though I've been at it for 30 years.

One of de Bompasses descendants used to wander off. He finally never came back. His wife thought he went to live with the Indians. Haven't found any horse thieves yet.
