ETA: Kelly J, are you British? I just realized that you used the UK spelling of "defence", while the US spelling is "defense". While it wouldn't have made a difference anyway if you had searched using the US spelling, though, as the title of the article wasn't in the other thread.
I am French/English and Spanish/Indian, not my fault I had nothing to do with it, a lot of the time I use Phonetics to spell, other times, I use spell checker, and then there are the times I use ?.
My earliest ancestor born in 1619 came her from Dijon, Burgandy, France; by way of England which was the Birthplace of his wife that was in 1649 at York, Virginia, that they arived here in 1666 he was granted Citizship, and Died at the Home in St. Marys County, Virginia in 1674. His wife was a Tattershall, from Wiltshire, England.
