I'm particulary interest in the children of Thomas Ffurson. The were Elizabeth Ferguson b abt 1615 at Simsbury, Hartford county, and John Ferguson b abt 1618 at Simsbury or Dover, Hartford county, and Thomas Ferguson b abt 1620 in Dover. Best Regards, Bob Ferguson CA Seems there were not many English in Connecticut before 1620. (Mayflower) Hartford wasn't founded until Hooker's party left Cambridge MA a lot later than that. Don't know how anyone not an Indian could have been born there abt. 1615. Might be a good idea to check out those dates again, or perhaps they were born in England. Dave from Long Island
