I am interested in the various Eccleston/Eggleston families, in particular those from Cavan. One method of
finding connections is through Dna-testing.  Look at the Eggleston/Eccleston section at Familytreedna.com.
The database has two individuals with Irish ancestry.  You should consider Y-dna testing of a male relative.
The Cavan family of John and Ann also had members who emigrated to Canada as well as members who
remained in Ireland.

My ancestor came to Virginia in 1635.  I think--- but I am not sure--that he came from Durham.  I have hit a brick wall of many years standing and to conquer it I would offer free y-dna testing to any of your male Eggleston cousins.
Absolutely no strings attached.

I am a novice at this type of reply, but----. I have no direct knowledge of
Elliot but there was a John Eggleston who married Elizabeth Elliot in 1763 in Edmondbyers.  At this time there was a large Eggleston family in Stanhope, which is not far over the moors. John and Elizabeth had four other children christened in Edmondbyers.  Elliot Eggleston and Ann Walton had a child in Edmondbyers in 1792, with subsequent children
christened in Stanhope in 1803 and 1806.  What is your Eggleston
connection?

I would appreciate information on Eggleston/Egglestone inscriptions in any
cemetary--- but in Wolsingham in particular.  Thanks.

Are there any UK Egglestons interested in dna testing?  I will pay for y-dna
testing for any male Eggleston whose Eggleston forebears lived in County
Durham in the 18th century or before.
