I'm now wondering if the Aussie James CERONIO is the same as James CERONIO the son of Stephen. I'm beginning to think Stephen was a privateer or something a lot like it. He is mentioned a considerable amount in a book entitled "Building Little Italy," by Richard Juliani (that part with Stephen, fortunately, is in the preview on Google Books. It appears Stephen took advantage of the William HICKS family estate to bleed some of the family members of their portion, then skipped - perhaps to the East Indies. I don't find much of anything on James, so maybe he went with his father?
