In those 1640s there were London Merchants who were behind the Blackmans
coming to Va. Similarly up in Conn, there were my Sherwoods/Faichilds and
Rev Adam Blackman who were active as merchants, buying land and goods from
the Indians-New Milford/Stratford. Who were these London Merchants? Any
names or lists? Bob LeflerOriginal Message -----
