Long Line The North Family Week 3

Starting to catch up on my posts. I recently updated my computer. Now I can get back to my genealogy. 


Week 3 Long Line

The North family

I picked the North family since they were the first line I started to research. I found that the line went back to 1635 when John North at age 20 sailed from London on The ship "Susan & Ellen" which was owned by Sir Richard Saltonstal one of the original patentees of Connecticut. I started researching my Great great grandmother Fidelia Maria North Booth. At that time my mother her great granddaughter was alive and owned some items that belonged to Fidelia. There was her diary from 1855 that I transcribed, a needlework sampler that she did when she was 12 and a picture of her. It was an adventure discovering a tinsmith Jedediah North, a revolutionary war veteran Levi North, and many religious leaders in the congregational church in Connecticut. It was then that I realized how long some of my ancestors had been in this country.
