Subject: RE: Trying to locate old family farms?



Central Illinois

I wish you luck. Knowing you history is a great point of interest. We are fortunate to have had good documentation on our family history due to an aunt that lived and breathed for our family history. Traced our lineage back to the crusades. Even know of our farms in England. Our original farm in the colonies is currently Harvard Yard. I have seen an overlay and it is pretty neat. Our first ancestor here was collegiate friends with John Winthrop and followed him to Mass and when he settled here he became the mayor of Newtown Mass (today Cambridge Mass). After his tenure as mayor he sold his farm for the town to establish Harvard.
