Hello Cheryl.. I saw your message this morning.. I have a Sarah EGGLESTON in my line.. I have to go back and look at the sources on this but the info I have is that she was born about 1628, perhaps in Biddenden, Kent, England, married a John NUTTING in Woburn, MA in 1650, had 7 children.. the 3rd of whom is my ancestor Mary NUTTING who was born jan 16th 1655/56 in Connecticut somewhere.. John and Sarah Eggleston Nutting show up in Groton, MA by 1663.. perhaps earlier... does any of this match any Eggleston info that you have? thanks... penny On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 23:20:43 EST, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Eggleston family came from Settrington, Yorkshire, England.
