Background

THIS PROJECT REALLY STARTED DECADES AGO WHEN AN INTEREST IN FAMILY HISTORY GREW, AND WE DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHERE THE SURNAME ORIGINATED. NOW MANY YEARS LATER, SOME FAMILY LINES HAVE BEEN RESEARCHED, WITH STILL NO CLUE TO OUR ORIGEN. THE KNOWN LOCALITIES AT THIS TIME (AUG '04), ARE
NEW JERSEY, COLONIAL DELAWARE AND COLONIAL MARYLAND, COLONIAL VIRGINIA. SOME MENTION OF THE NAME HAS BEEN FOUND IN EARLY ENGLAND.
