Hi Everyone,

This certainly doesn't answer the question, off by about 200 years, I found
this post of interest -- a curiousity to say the least and the poster may
also. In 1665 one of my ancestors John Faulkner, arrived at Kent County
aboard the "Agreement". With him were wife Elizabeth, three children,
Francis, John and Thomas, and two servants -- Eliza BLOXOM and Thomas JONES.
(see document below). The family settled in Talbott/Queene Anne's County. My
branch migrated to Granville Co NC abt 1750.

I thought the juxtaposition again of the uncommon name Bloxom with Jones was
interesting. I have never made an attempt to look for either Bloxom (who may
have had male relatives also arriving) or Jones in the above-named counties,
but it could be a thought. There were still Faulkners there in the 1800s.

Best Regards and Good Luck!

NOTE: I posted this before and was asked the source. It is found in the
Maryland State Archives. and once I did dredge it up on a search at :

Another cousin found it much earlier.
