We have many, many, many English surnames
involved in ascendancy through both the Howard
and allied Families Study and the Swope
and Allied Families Study which are the basis for the Two Volume Within
the Vines website. Any known English immigrant to America arises
from the Howard and Allied lines exclusively.
-
The English of the Swope and Allied Families
are found in portions of the tree far removed from our American Immigrants
and spreading back into ancient English history. These English are gained
through the peerage and nobility found in the ascendancy of the McCurdy
Study and are owed solely to the McCurdy/Stewart marriage occuring
in Scotland in 1667 and the pedigree of the bride [ Margaret Stewart] in
which are found ancient English Kings and peerage members. See Our
Peers and Nobles Gateway Page . Our i immgrant forebears among
all the Swope and Allied Families were nearly to the person German and
Swiss, sole exceptions being that of McCurdy and its allied families cluster.
-
Conversetly, the Howard and allied English
are often those giving children to America as its first immigrants.
Although the Howard and Allied Lines also include the Scottish amongst
our forebears and the Irish amongst our forebears
[both of whom likewise provided immigrants to America] , England
is most strongly represented among all the Howard and Allied families,
and those English emmigrants are largely relevant to early colonial Virginia
where they are found at earliest in 1619 Jamestown. From that point
until 1700 the English immigrants of our Howard and allied lines
arrived nearly foot upon heel . Several of its surnames are counted among
the peerage of England. Again see Our Peers and Nobles
Gateway Page. These English arrived mostly to Jamestown Virginia, and were
involved in early Jamestown history, early plantation culture in eastern
Virginia, and the planning and building of Williamsburg [to which the government
of Virginia removed on abandonment of Jamestown in 1699] . The earliest
were Episcopalian, but there were also Quakers. All our English immigrants
feature prominantly in the Virginia and
Our Virginians chapter of Volume
I: Our American Immigrants
Among our English Surnames are
Cary
[of Bristol, England and known to ascend to the Carys of Devonshire, and
Sir William Cary, husband to Mary Boleynn- sister to Anne Boleyn,
King Henry VIII's second wife and mother to Queen Elizabeth I] . Immigrant
Miles Cary is found in records of Virginia in 1645.
