Pipkin to America 1651?
I was just told a fantastic story by a cousin of an older generation. He had seen the story in records of an older generation yet. The story goes that 7 brothers arrived to the new world in 1651 on a ship. It had been agreed upon that the first brother to "land" would be deemed head of the family. When the ship arrived at the port, one of the brothers cut off his hand and threw it ashore, making him the head of the family.
Does anyone have an account of 7 (or any large number) of Pipkin brothers arriving in America around 1651?
