Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: The Neville/Westmorland Name Connection
« on: Monday 05 March 18 04:23 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I'm a descendant of Alexander Westmoreland. I'm trying to figure out if his father John Thomas Fane Westmoreland is a real ancestor or not... There seems to be quite a bit of controversy about the early Westmorelands... Does anyone know if there is any documentary evidence of John Thomas Fane? Or his father and grandfather? James supposedly came over around 1652. I've read online that he died in Virginia around 1712 but some researchers say there is no documentary evidence of him except for his arrival in Boston. I would be grateful for any light that could be shed on the subject. Thanks!
