But similar. :) Also my mother's side - our first ancestor to come to the US was John Irish, born about 1600 in the parish of Clisdon, County of Somerset, England; died in 1677. He married Elizabeth Risley, who died August 28, 1687. John was the first of the family in America. He was living in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts in 1629. He came to Plymouth with John Bradford, the son of the Governor of Plymouth Colony, William Bradford. He was of considerable note in Duxbury, as a surveyor of lands. He left much property in Seaconnet, Rhode Island. He was a volunteer for the Pequot War (1633-1637). I also have a great-great grandmother who's native American, but that's on my father's side. :) Nice to get to know you!
