Am I correct in assuming you're descended from the immigrant Joseph English, Sr. (d. 1686)? If so, I'd be happy to compare notes. He's my 9g grandfather (two ways). jeff -----Original Message----- >From: "nastrovia@juno.com" <nastrovia@juno.com> >Sent: May 26, 2013 8:07 PM >To: cookerl3@aol.com >Cc: PRIMOPRIMO@aol.com, thesherers@charter.net, ILCLARK-L-request@rootsweb.com, quaker-roots@rootsweb.com, wcj.camille@yahoo.com, rlscott130@gmail.com, aenglish@humana.com >Subject: Re: [Q-R] Friendly Persuasion > >My grandmother on my father's side was an ENGLISH.
