..we are the Michigan Rockwell's, descended from Charles Martin Rockwell His father was Thomas 'Tommy' B. Rockwell, of Madison County. I am really starting to think there may have been two Thomas Rockwell's in the same area about the same time. Ours lived in or near Munnsville. ..Charles Martin was one of the pioneers of Clinton County, Michigan, and had one of the very nicest farms there. ..I need to take the time to send you guys the research my mom has done, too busy too often, I guess. ..Thanks for the info, I forwarded it to my mom, in Michigan.

Rockwell > 1855 Stockbridge Hi Don't take this as fact, but I think there may have been a Rev. Thomas Burr Rockwell who was acquainted with central New York, possibly in the 1830-40s. He was a missionary and married (of all names) a Polly Smith. His father, Thomas H. Rockwell, married abigail Hawley, and I do believe they may have lived in the Utica area. They are from the Thomas and Sarah (Rusco) Rockwell line too, but from their son, Thomas (not John). I don't know that line, but am quite sure Thomas Burr Rockwell migrated to Illinois. Unfortunately, this is a sketchy time period for Rockwell research and sorting out just the line I descend is trying. To complicate things, I am related to an altogether different line of Rockwells, through my 5g grandmother, Hannah (Rockwell) Smith, of Saratoga. (Incidentally <grinning> I refuse to do any "Smithing" of any kind for anyone - I am reaching new heights of senility.) Loo - I remember you writing about your Rockwells awhile back - a Wisconsin tie, I think. If you could reiterate, either here or offline, I could look up some things for you, regarding what you tell me. Just let me know what you want to know, specifically, and I will try to get you some answers. John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
