The family hailed originally from Lincolnshire and came to Boston in 1620 as part of the Puritan migration. Thanks to her, there is a clear record of our Truesdell line, which I don't have immediate access to, but I would certainly be willing to share with you. Ironically, she married a Fisher, although almost certainly not one of yours -- his family came from Prince Edward Island, Canada, where he was nearly born himself. However, our Truesdells married into a Mills family (of Scottish origin) in northeastern Connecticut. best wishes, Peter Gilmore
