Hi all, I am tryng to find our original immigrant ancester. Charles Fie, Fye is the oldest one I know in our line. He was supposedly in the French and Indian War, in VA, in 1758 ( does anyone have a way to check that for me?) Michial Fie was 24 and came on the Ship Loyal Judith on Nov 25, 1740, which went to Philadelphia, PA. Does anyone have him in their line or know what happened to him? Thanks, Sandy Fye

If anyone is searching for "southern" DeGraffenrieds please let me know. I found six graves in one of Atlanta's oldest and most historically prestigious cemetery this weekend, Oakland.
