Hello Angie, I'm sure that I have been in touch with you before (looking for a Samuel Aikins from 1779 1- 1784 in New York City, who moved to Nova Scotia in 1784). The name Samuel caught my eye here. So far, I have had NO LUCK finding this Samuel amongst the Dutchess County, New York, Aikins. Is it possible that he could be the Connecticut Samuel Aikins? Do you have any information about this man or his descendants? Paul Grimwood, Ancaster, Ontario Ted & Angie Strzelecki wrote: > Hi Carl! > > I am familiar with the family you speak of.
