About us

We have established the possibility of a tie between the Bracebridge family of Kingsbury Hall and the William de Kyngesburye that appeared in Little Cornard, Suffolk, England in 1368. Assuming this theory to be true, then this will account for the Henry Kingsbury and Joseph Kingsbury descendants in America today. The signatures for the Dorset, Hampshire, Ireland, and Scotland participants imply additional distinct Kingsbury families. It is our current theory that the multiple Kingsbury families originated in the following locations: 1) Village of Kingsbury near Old Sarum in Wiltshire, 2) Bere Regis in Dorset, 3) Kingsbury Episcopi in Somerset,  4) Kingsbury Hall in Warwickshire, and 5) Kingsbury Castle in Herts which later moved to London as a suburb.
