Feel indentured POW Daniel Ell(i)ot of Tullykelter, Co. Fermanagh (Maguire), Ireland, came to America on the same ship as Alexander Gordon, but his father-in-law's (Peter Cloise-Cloyse-Clayes many spellings) mother gave hard labor and felt by the Gordon's the she abused him, so the Gordon's may not ever accept that Daniel and his older brother, which were Anglican supporters married Irish and fought against Cromwell. No being Gaelic speaking but spelling the English of James VI/I and Walter Scott we were able to negotiate our way as indenture POWs of America by money of the Rev Gregory (John & Daniel sons) family. The widow of John Harvard returned to England with husband Rev. Thomas Allen brother to Capt. John Allen of the ship Liberty, grazing cows on The Commons, and said to be the riches two people in Cambridge, in the 17th century. The way Peter Cloyse's mother must have abused Alexander Gordon, it is felt that even Scots Charitable Society of Boston of 1657, at about time Daniel Elliot would have ended indentureship would ever consider us as Scots POW. Since Daniel Elliott grand father was banished from both Kingdoms in 1603 and ended up in the Ulster Plantation, do not claim either Kingdom, but will claim those Anglican-Irish we ended up married to and living today on both sides of the EU-UK border those are my family.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
