Peter, there were several families who originated in New York and even New England who migrated to Pennsylvania and then to VA or over to MD and then over the VA/PA. I can think of two of my families that are allied to my Browns (hence my supposed Neville) who came from New York and round about down to Hampshire County Va. The Van Hoesen (Van House, Van Huisen, Van Hoosen. various spellings) were one. They lived in Orange, NY in the 1600's and settled in Frederick County in the early 1700's. Hite was another. My Lemasters were Huguenots and some questions have arisen about whether or not they could have started in NY before migrating southwest. My Cary's were in Mass. very early on (early 1600's) and migrated to Philadelphia and then points southwest. My Justice family did the opposite. They started out very early near Jamestown and then settled in Mass. for a little while before moving back to VA. This was very early 1700's. People were not static!
