Hello everyone,
Wow!!! I am in Birmingham, AL this morning. However, I am never far
from my trusty notebook computer. Needless to say, I am just as
thrilled as everyone with the information which Mac has provided. I
agree with Diana and Sharon. The dates all fit except for William.
Diana, don't forget that there was a Thomas in Edgecombe County who
would have been born in about 1740 or so for whom we have no
connection. Also, the name Ambrose does reappear at least two more
times in later generations. I think that we have to assume that Ambrose
or Henry must have had one or more sons between them. We know that
Henry was married although we do not have any indication that Ambrose
was ever married.
I don't think I have mentioned this before, but my company has customers
worldwide. In fact, one of my customers from the Netherlands is here in
Birmingham with me. I mentioned the Bozman-London connection and the
fact that they were Dutch immigrants employed as "silk-twisters". He
immediately said, "Oh, they probably were not actually from Holland, but
most likely from the town of Brugge in Flanders.". He went on to say
that that part of Belgium is Dutch speaking. Brugge apparently has been
known for silk weaving since the middle ages. He mentioned that they
might also be from Gent, another town known for silk weaving. Anyway,
he has offered to visit these towns and search their registries if we
like. I may take him up on his offer. It seems like it might be
worthwhile. Also, I will be attending a conference in Amsterdam the
last week of March. I may consider staying over an extra day or two if
I can come up with any leads worth pursuing.
I actually have many customers in the Netherlands. There are at least
three who I know well enough that I might ask them to perform research
at some point in the future. So, I think we may have a valuable
resource here if we can come up with any specific leads for them to
research.
Regards,
Steve
