Family Surnames and Migrations

Family Surnames/Locations

Here are a few of the many surnames I am currently searching and their migration routes. I decided to go back twelve generations. Many of these surnames are quite common, so I'm including the migration pattern as known at this time. I've also added the name and dates for the earliest known ancestor of that branch. Due to pedigree collapse, there are a couple of lines where I descend multiple times from a common ancestor.. Please feel free to search for surnames through the search box located in the sidebar that searches my site.  If you find we are related, please contact me so we can collaborate. 


Please click on the surname to find blog posts related to these lines.

Hi there! I was interested to see a couple of my family names prominently on your site. The Maxsons of Rhode Island, and the Clarke's are from my maternal lineage AND you also have Hester Overton Willson of my paternal lineage. Coincidentally (or not) both Mary Maxon (daughter of Judith Clark and John Maxson or Maxon) and Hester Willson (daughter of Samuel and Hannah Hall Willson) share a birthday less than 20 years apart posted early in your blog!They are two of my great grandmothers!

I don't know if you have noticed these nexus type synchronicities in your tree, but it's starting to make me wonder. I've found my parents sharing ancestors, and then found that my husband and I are also 9th cousins. (I believe his grandfather used to actually own my grandfather, then a slave in CT in the late 1600s. Their grandchildren married and generations later -- and we're both on our second marriages -- he (from California) and I (from Nebraska originally) find we're related! Seems amazing.

I am the Bartholomew family tree on Ancestry.com, but still working on all the family connections. Thanks much! Laura Bartholomew Armstrong, Atlanta
