We know Nehemiah had a brother, John, who had land confiscated during the civil war in England during the 1640s before he came to America. Through the National Archives in London and on British History online I have found several John Smiths who had property seized. My plan is to visit the archive to check these records for the names of the towns in which John resided, then see if Nehemiah's name pops in any of these towns records or parishes. Any ideas are appreciated in helping solve this long standing family mystery.
I am a retired teacher (40 years) and soccer coach (25 years), father of two and grandfather of a wonderful 3 1/2 year old (who has me wrapped around her finger!) I began teaching 5th graders in Rhode Island and then taught middle school before moving to Maine where I taught high school World Geography. My wife, Pat, and I moved to Massachusetts in 2018 where both our adult children live.
