ACme Blocks

Acie: The family of Abigail Acie Remington needs a lot of work back in 17th century Yorkshire on the usual BMD and biographical background.

Adam: Peter Adam died in 1572 in Strotford, England per his will. More needed on him and his family.

Affeton: 15th century Devonshire records need to be searched for this family.

Allen: Mary Allen was Abigail Acie Remington's daughter-in-law. Since Allen is a common name, tracking Mary's family beyond father William may be tricky.

Almy: The English ancestry of the Almy family is the biggest missing link. The given names of two wives [Clarke and Reignolds] are needed.

Arnold: The Arnolds were reportedly from Llanthony, Monmouthshire, Wales. The first of the line, Roger, is said to have married Joan, a daughter of Sir Thomas Gamage, although this needs verification. The first generations with solid details were those in Somerset, England. Quite a few BMD records need to be finalized. The maiden name of Richard [1520-1595] Arnold's wife, Jacqita, is lacking. His grandson, William Arnold was the immigrant. He had a son named Benedict. That name was passed down for a few generations.

Cheesman: In researching my Simmons line in the parish registers of Hampshire, England, I was able to find a few new families. Expansion of the records is needed beyond the marriages that I uncovered. Edward and Elizabeth Pearson, Edward and Catherine Penford and Catherine and John Simmons are the three generations on record.

Christopher/Christoffels: Hans was probably Dutch, but I have seen suggestions that he came from Normandy. His BMD dates are needed as is the marriage date of his daughter Maria to Pieter Prall [c1693]. I believe Hans' widow, Tryntje, was Arent Jansen Prall's 2nd wife and mother of Arent's son Johannes.

Collier: Mary Collier was the 2nd wife of Thomas Prence and the probable mother of Elizabeth Prence Howland. Confirmation that Thomas was referring to Mary in a letter about his wife's death is needed. [see post on Prence]

Collins: Elizabeth Collins married Samuel Gorton. Information on her parents Elizur and Sarah Wright is needed.

Cooper: Joanna Cooper married Zacheus Curtis.about 1645 [month/day?] Who were her people?

Cowper: Alice married Edmund Lockwood in Suffolk, England. Details on her family [William Cwper and Alice Ludbrook] is needed.

Curtis: Two lines need to be investigated. (1) Zacheus, John, Samuel, Mary of Essex, MA and Wiltshire, England. (2) Margaret, who married James Knellar in Hampshire, England.
