There has been a prodigious amount of research performed in the US into the early settlers/colonists so it is easy, once you've found a connection to one, to fill out a comprehensive tree.

Gedmatch is excellent way forward once you have identified what appear to be two or more matches "in common".
Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!
Vincent: Fressingfield, Suffolk, Stockton & Sunderland.
Murtha/Murtaugh: Dundalk & Sunderland
Ingram: Cairnie by Huntly, Scotland then Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Bardouleau: London - in memory of my stepmother Annie Rose née Bardouleau who put up with a lot from me.
