The Immigrants


I was interested in finding the original immigrants in our family. These are the ones I was able to identify. Most are from England (no surprise), but others are from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Germany, and the Netherlands.

In many cases I have not been able to trace the line back far enough to discover the original immigrant. Sometimes my research has gone back many generations, but stops short of the "homeland" connection. That is the case with most of my maternal lines.

Paternal side:
2X GG: John Adam Zaun (Soun) & Elizabeth L. Wellner - came from Mainz, Germany in 1867, along with Elizabeth's parents.

9X GG: Thomas Judd (from Kent, England) & Sarah E. Freeman (from Sussex, England) - came to New Haven, CT, before 1632.

10X GG: John Wilcox (from Suffolk, Eng) to Hartford, CT in the early 1600's.

10X GG: Thomas Welles (Gov. CT) & Alice Tomes - Warwickshire, Eng. to Boston, Mass. in 1635, with son, 9X GG Thomas Welles Jr., 8 years old.

10X GG: Richard Tuttle - from Northhamptonshire, Eng., before 1640, with daughter Hannah who married Thomas Welles Jr.

8X GG: William Bradley - from West Yorkshire, Eng., to New Haven, CT in 1637.

9X GG: Thomas Dickerman - from England to Boston, MA before 1657, with wife, Ellen, and son, Abraham.
