Joanna Atwell 1740) They are the ancestors of Franklin Delano Roosevelt US Pres. and Sir Robert Borden CDN PM. I am from John Atwell and Ruth Holton the Brother of Joanna Atwell and we moved to Kings County and built a house there in 1761. Its still there called Kents Lodge because the father of Queen Victoria (Duke of Kent) resided there. From there it was a short sprint across the river to father William (Fenwick) Williams the Pasha of Turkey. My great Grandfather trained Sir Robert Bordens' race horses.

Yes, my MUNROE ancestors go back to William Munroe of Lexington, the SPOW.

Have tried to find out where Ledyard Bill might have stored or donated his documentation on what he used to compile this book. It is not referenced so that info in it cannot be used as primary proof. <br />I hope to use John the immigrant for Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims and his grandson Samuel for Colonial Dames of the 17th Century. <br />Question - does your Munroe/Munro line go back to Scotsman/soldier William Munro of MA who was brought over as indentured servant about 1651/52 and married Mary Ball at Cambridge, MA?<br />Thx for any info you can offer.<br />Sincerely,<br />Linda Alcott Maples<br />L.

This was one of the reasons for the forced expulsion by the British authorities. They were replaced with Protestant subjects.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266863915963259735noreply@blogger.com
