"The Spofford/Spafford line extends the farthest at present. Jhon Spofford came from Yorkshire, Englan to America in 1638, and his line extends back to Orm of Yorkshire whose son Gamel, Lord of Thorparch, was killed in 1064. The ruins of Spofforth Castle (name changed to Spofford Castle in mid 1400's) stands about 30 miles south west of York. The family's prominence was lessened after about 1550 when Bryan Spofford, a priest, married and was ejected from his position as Rector of Barton in Rydale. This line is directley connected, generation to generation, for 26 generations in back of Mary (Polly) who wed Robert Sheldon!"
I was asking my mom about our family tonight and found out about this little bit of info, she also said someone had traced back even further to find out about some marriages of Danish Prince's to Finnish or French Princess's and some other such things... I just thought it was really cool and interesting so I thought I would share it, dose anyone else have such ancestry?
