Jim Avery's Comments

Thanks Jim !! My great grandfather John Henry Collins (1848-1913), was States Attorney for N.C. from 1878 to 1886. He was born free in Norfolk , Va. His mother was a free black woman and his father was an ANGLICIZED French Jew. Therefore his fathers name Henry Collins was most definitely a Jewish alias All 8 of my g grandparents were of racially mixed parentage. I was accepted into the Sons of the Amer. Rev. through my 5 greats grandfather Jacob Strawn (1717-1800) All best !!

Hi,

I don't have anything YET on Perrys in New England; however, I do have one of my Perry's who married a Horton, whose dad was born in Long Island, and then moved down into SC. I've just started research that link that far back. That would be mid 1700s when they were in New England. What time frame are you looking for? 

You might check out the Great Wagon Road. Lots of people took that from PA to NC/SC. It's possible there is a start to the Great Wagon Road up in NY. Just a thought...

I'm always on the lookout for more information. I'm the State Genealogist for the Colorado DAR, so I stumble on things all the time as I'm researching other people's lines. I'll definitely keep a watch out.

Hi Jim,

No, no Kramers from Pennsylvania.  They settled in Missouri and Illinois after migrating from Germany through New Orleans.

Heather

Thanks Jim -- I will look for her

No. My husbands family came from NH. From there they went to

Illinois, Missouri, and Texas

Hi Jim,  Just did a double check to see if I had any Nichols in PA.  My husband's Nichols clan is all from Virginia and later West Virginia.  They pretty much settled in one area and stayed there, Nicholas county and surrounding areas.  Some made it out to Kansas for a while but I think they all came back to the mountains.

Hi Jim

I found this while searching for my Hunkins clan...I know you said yours are NOT from Groton but maybe a relative? Looks like these are descendents of his that ended up in Waukesha,WI
