<DIV class=RTE>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>My first posting, so please advise me of any mistakes in protocol.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>My g/grandfather was Albert MILLARD 1845-1893 who emigrated to USA with his wife Mary Ann (nee DAVIS) around 1873/4. He left behind his eldest son William, who is my grandfather, with George THAYER, his "uncle" and his wife Sarah.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Albert and Mary took their other three children Minnie (aka Maria?), Anna and Henry, arriving in Spafford then Skaneateles, Onondaga county, New York state. Later children Maude and Frank arrived (possibly with two more as yet unidentified).</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>The family line expanded into SMITH, CHAPMAN, HORSINGTON, JAMESON, CASELEY and BURNETT- or similar sounding name. I have found that my BURNETT is a previous owner of "The Creamery", which now houses the Skaneateles Historical Society I believe some of these USA surnames may also connect back to the Wedmore area as Skaneateles is proving to be a "mini-Somerset" of its day.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Albert had Mary Ann, Dorcas, Ellen, Elizabeth and, (as yet unproven, Mark), for brothers and sisters. His father was William and mother was Hannah AMESBURY.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Other web sites have given good information about Albert's ancestors, so my interest is with William and Hannah's descendents. I would welcome any comments about any relatives however and would obviously be prepared to share more information that I have.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Look forward to hearing from you,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Regards,</DIV>
