Going to do a very #genealogy thing and list surnames. I'm not going to bother with Smith, for obvious reasons. If you might connect, let me know.
Roach, Clark, Roberts, Stackhouse, McVicker, Merricks, Daniel(s), Parrot(t), Vallat, Laigle, Jeannin/Genin, Donjon, Collignon, Ryan, Faherty, Bertram, Palandt, Clendennin (many variants), Seybold.
Some of the more common names are less likely matches, but ya never know. I could have added many more, but most are WAY back.
@poemblaze My husband has McVickers from Indiana. Earliest is Archibald > David > Thomas Dean > Ethel.
@Myana That's my third great grandfather's brother. Awesome.
@poemblaze Lol! It's amazing how small the world is!
My husband and I's family trees cross twice. Each time his ancestor did something crappy to mine (like his ancestor got one of mine hung for witchcraft at Salem).
@Myana Actually may be a generation earlier
@Myana Was your Archibald married to an Elizabeth Burns?
@poemblaze Yes, he was. I haven't been able to find out anything about her family though.
@Myana his parents were Duncan McVicker (1737-1818) and Nancy McCollum (1748-1800). They lived in NJ. Duncan was a captain during the American Revolution.
@poemblaze Thank you! I did not know that. I'm heading back East next week, to visit family in New Jersey. Maybe I can slip in a little research time.
@poemblaze Archibald is my husband's g-g-g-g-grandfather.
@poemblaze Archibald died in 1821 (?) in Ohio. It was his son David (b. 1820 Guernsey Co., Ohio) who moved to Indiana. After that, the family stayed put in Grant Co. Indiana.
