WOW James,
Great work! I am descended from the Southern Camp line, but I would like to
add
a bit of verification to James' work. I have twice visited the All Saints
Church in
Naezing in Essex, England. The Curtis Family has given the Church a
tasteful sign
that states that the Curtis Family left the area on the Lyon (I think it may
have been
spelled "Lion" for the New World and that they were Puritans. The events
and
unrest in England at that period of time would lead credibility to that. I
was told
that in the last days of the reign of Elizabeth I that she required everyone
in each
household to wear a woolen cap and then taxed them for their own wool. She
also
decreed that each Church have a posting of the Ten Commandments. The one in
All Saints is there from her decree. I have photographs of the Baptismal
Font
that has been at All Saints since the 1500s as well as the pediment it
rests on
(from the time of the Normans in 1100). The latest toombstone from All
Saints
that is readable is from the late 1700s. I was told that the area
immediately around
the Church is where all of the early burials were and that people were just
buried one
on top of the other throughout time. The earth around the church is a
couple of feet
higher than the foundation. I felt a real connection at that Church and
wonder if there
is any thing resembling genetic encoding in humans as with salmon and birds
<VBG>
My daughter and I felt very at home there and marveled how much the rolling
hills
reminded us of our hills here in North Georgia.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Naezing, I'd be happy to help in
any way I
can.
