Aloha,
I'm looking for Mapp family related to John Mapp, the firt Mapp to immigrate to American (US) pre-revolutionary war. He was born in Shropshire, England in about 1618 and his wife was named Mary Union (not sure about her last name). He was christened at Lydbury North Church in Shropshire, England on 16 Aug 1618. John arrived in Virginia in 1654. Looking to extend our family tree. From what I have gathered Mapp is a Welch name and I understand that Shroshire is on the border with Wales. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Jerry Mapp
