Posted on: DEWHURST - DEWHIRST Biographical Information Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/dew/DewhurstBios/29 Surname: Dewhurst, Dewhirst ------------------------- I am interested in your family line - do you know from where they originated in UK? My Dewhirsts went to US where Emma/Emmie Jones (whose mother was Martha Dewhirst and father Benjamin Jones) was born at Southbridge, Mass. It is believed they went there because of family connections. Any ideas? I have the names of ten of their eleven children.
