His father, that year, had been killed during a hurricane that swept over Bermuda. The family trading business was in ruins. Twenty-nine year old Samuel decided to move on. So began one journey into the American adventure. Now you know why I chose 1657 as an alias.<br /><br />My family history is tied to Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas. Somehow my grandfathers couldn't seem to locate Florida or Louisiana. A stray one found California, but that is another story.<br /><br />Now you are going to ask what the heck this has to do with this blog.<br /><br />It is simple......absolutely nothing.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1048866560754082480-5727907852460937909?l=gallopingghost.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>1657http://www.blogger.com/profile/10898683802793065855noreply@blogger.com0
