Hi: I am researching the Desjadon family, most recently Shoreham/Orwell, VT. It is my grandfather's line and goes up to Charles, b: 1792 (1/2 Indian) .... not sure if this line connects anywhere .... still working on it. BUT if you get no other connections, please let me know and if you DO and any seem to tie into my 'tidbit' please give them my email!
