That was informative, but I don't know what you mean by 'corridor'. Where was it? What is it?

There are exceptions to the rules.. My Shortsleeve family (Catholics) on my mothers side came down through the corridor starting in Vermont and down through Albany, Watertown, Oswego and Sterling with stops in between in the 1830's and 40's when the English were persecuting them. Some moved back to the Quebec province later. My fathers side (Rowsey/Rowzee/Rosseau , Huguenot Protestant) came from France, through Canterbury England, then the Chesapeake Bay to settle in Virginia in the 1600's.
