Can't speak for all the PHAROs, but one line I'm familiar with were members of the Chestefield Monthly Meeting in Burlington County, NJ. ,James Pharo, of Great Drayton, Nottinghamshire, d. Nottingham, Burlington Co., N.J., May 1688, bur. Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, Burlington Co., N.J., 31 May 1688 m. Bawtry, Nottinghamshire, 13 Dec. 1673 is said to have been an ancestor of Al Gore. My PHARO line was a seafaring family. Originally from Nottinghamshire, England, The progenitor in this country, Jarvis Pharo, married his wife Elizabeth Willetts in Hempstead, LI, NY in 1701. By the late 1700s they were in Ocean, NJ. No reason so far to believe they were gypsies! :) On Mar 7, 2008, at 12:09 PM, gc-gateway@rootsweb.com wrote: > Did the Pharo family have Gypsy roots? >
