Goodrich, Lightfoot, Wills, Miles, Armistead, Burwell. Also, line ties to Bolitha Laws of MD whose ancestors migrated to Hampton VA area. He was a contractor and provided services for the Government at Fortress Monroe in and before 1812. Names which tie to this line and are found on the Eastern Shore of MD and VA are Beavens, Bosmans, Powell and Spiers. Any info appreciated. I have substantial info on some lines, which I would be happy to share with others seeking the same lines.

My family first appeared in records as non-citizens in Fredericksburg, Va. in the year 1785. The name has been spelled many ways but the phonetic sound that was recorded was Separk. My ancestors given names were Henri, Angelique and Antoine (LeParc,LeParque, SeParc, SeParque) or any French spelling that produces the above sound, even LeBarque, Lebarc, Dubarque, Dubarc or Cyrperque. I am interested in ships that came into the area around 1780s that might have a passenger list or manifest. They settled in Fredericksburg in 1785 and we want very much to learn where we came from originally. Can anyone give me a list of ships that might have brought immigrants from any part of Europe during the 1780 time span? Can anyone tell me how I might find out the names of such ships? There is only one family of Separks in the USA and I would so much appreciate any help. Thank you, B. Reinking

Hello everybody

I have traced back to my great-great-grandfather, Daniel Dennis, b 15 AUG 1830 in or around Ross County/Deerfield Township, OH or Pickaway County/Perry Township, OH. I believe his father to be Jonathan Dennis, but as yet have been unable to verify this. If anyone has any data that would help, I would appreciate it.

Also, we have word of mouth accounts passwd down through the family that our ancestor, John Dennis, came over on the ship Merchant's Hope, from Gravesend, England in 1635. I have checked the ships log, and there was indeed a John Dennis that was on the ship. They settled in Accomack Co, VA. From there, I lose track of where he went next. I feel certain that he was my ancestor. If anyone knows how I may continue that trace, I would welcome the help.

I believe (Conjecture here!) that the Dennis family migrated north through Virginia into Maryland , then traversed westward through West Virginia into Ohio by way of Marietta, possibly around 1790-1800.

Thanks
