On my father’s side, fifty-seven immigrant colonists arrived in North America during the 1600s. Most came from England; others came from Scotland, Ireland, and Germany.

They settled in the Colony of Virginia, the Connecticut Colony, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Province of Maryland, and the Province of Pennsylvania.

One died during the crossing and his wife died in the same year, leaving orphan children in the New World.
