Note:
The areal grouping of the ancestral families reflects their historical dispersion and is intended to help searchers find families more quickly. Families in the old world group did not come to the United States (as far as the writer knows). Families in the northern group immigated typically into New England, and descendant lines moved westward in an almost straight line. Families in the southern group immigrated typically into the middle Atlantic coastal region, and descendant lines moved south or westward along two paths, one through the Gulf coastal area and the other farther north in the interior. Families from the latter two groups generally did not move from north to south or vice versa, with the notable exception of the Comstock family which jumped from New England to Louisiana in the 1700s. As a result of these disparate migratory paths, there are few early familial connections between the northern and southern groups, but linkage does exist between a number of families within each of these two groups.
