When did that Oldham family emigrate to America and where did they settle? My Great Grandfather was George Oldham married to Mary Elizabeth Peters of Philadelphia and I am attempting to trace back the family. There was a John Oldham granted land in Philadelphia by William Penn but I am not sure yet if our family link is to this John Oldham. Anyone have a link to the Philadelphia Oldhams? Thanks, Patricia Oldham Drobins
