Let me clarified my last posting---Robert Believes we came from Germany to Here
possibly as Hessin soldier
I believe we came from Germany move to Holland and later came here from Holland to VA "Jamestown area"......and I believe we came in the 2nd wave of the 1600s to help re-build Jamestown as part of the skilled labor of glass makers and carpenters.(if you look at John Pauls will items it seems to support this) Besides the other letters of the generation before us and their parents---Pretty much in line with the family tradition that seems to come down Henlys line but also Phillips line too......I also believe there is a possible UK connection there too either before Germany or on are way from Holland
