Several ancestral families called Virginia or North Carolina home. These families would find their way into Kentucky after the Revolutionary War. Madison, Pendleton, Jessamine and other nearby counties became home for a generation before uprooting to resettle in Indiana.
The families that were part of these migrations arrived in the Colonies between 1620 & about 1760.
What about those later arrivals? The McHughs [early 1830s], Laubschers & Wagners [late 1830s] & Catherine O'Neil [early 1850s]? They will be discussed tomorrow.
As for post-Civil War immigration, there was none. Castle Garden, Ellis Island & other ports of immigration are left to those of you whose ancestors sought land in the developing West, fled military conscription in Europe, escaped Fascism in Germany or Communism in Eastern Europe & SE Asia or any other reason to pack up & move to the US.
