D Blocks, D Blocks!

Dally: Henry Dally was a mariner. Not much else is known. His parents were Nicholas and Elizabeth [Creiger] Dally. Noting on them. Henry's daughter, Catherine, was the wife of "Wall Street John" Simmons, married 1758 in NYC.

Dodge: The Dodges were from Somerset, England [John] and Beverly, Essex, Massachusetts [Richard, Edward, Hannah]. There are several birth marriage and death dates missing.

Douglas: My Douglas clan almost vanished after a couple of errors were corrected. Fortunately, the family just shifted from brother to sister. The proposed lineage for the family is Robert of Scotland, William Sr. of Kircud Bright, Scotland, England, Massachusetts and New London, CT and lastly daughter, Sarah. A few vitals are missing, as well as confirmation of the Scottish origins of the family.

Dawrish: Devonshire was the family's ancestral home. Thomas I & II, Richard, Thomas III & IV and Grace all need their BMDs firmed up. Getting the biographical data for all but Thomas II is a priority.

DuBois: The chief piece of information missing on the family of Louis DuBois is the arrival in New Netherland. The date, name of the ship and passenger list are crucial in solving a DuBois/Billiou/Prall mystery: Did Louis' niece, Marie Billiou travel with them to settle in the Esopus Valley?

Dungan: Finding the birthplace of William Dungan is the key piece to the family puzzle. Was he English or Irish.

Three more to go! Two B-posts and a hodge-podge of "either-or."
