Emily and Listers, The Knapps, Closes, Husteds, Smiths, Meads, Purdys, Sutherlands are all my ancestors, some many times over. Joshua Knapp/Hannah Close - my 9th great grandparents; Hannah Knapp and Daniel Smith - my 8th; then my line goes to Benjamin Smith and Hannah Husted; Deborah Smith and Benjamin Purdy; Rachel Purdy and Samual Sutherland, and finally a long string of Sutherlands.

He was b. in the 1790s in Bridport, Addison Co, VT and is related to the above through his wife Hannah Bowers. I'm sure he came from the New England area and may be related to the family of John Derby and wife Hannah of Hebron, CT. At least descendants of this John were in Bridport at the same time as my Charles. > > Many thanks for your help. > Emily > > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.
