I am a family genealogist looking for an ancestor named
James Toone (Town, Towne, Tune, or any other phonetic variant) who would have been born
circa 1620 in England. He emigrated to America in 1651 where he subsequently married (Ann Duncombe), had 5 children and passed in 1676. He is my 8th great-grandfather.
The Tune surname and its variants seem to have a high incidence in this County. I am not searching for records in America, but, rather, records
documenting James Toone (or any phonetic variation Tune/Town(e)/Toon(e), Townes etc) in ENGLAND in the time period c.1620.
There are numerous records on the US side, much of which was compiled and catalogued by my cousin Gloria Tune - so if you search Ancestry, etc and see her name just know that I have all of that research. She is simply a brilliant family historian!
Any help in searching UK records for this person would be of inestimable value to our family line.
Not to be presumptive, but I have listed the variations of Tune that I have come across to aid in your search; although I suspect Tune, Towne, Town, Toone, or Townes to be the most likely candidates for my James.
Tune; Towne, Town, Toone, Toon, Towen, Tone, Toun, Toane, Toan, Thune, Toons, Towns, Towens, atte + any of the above variants.
Thank you very much for your time
