Hi Vonnie
You may already know this by now but I have some information you may be interested in. My GGrandfather was Azarias Beswick (sometimes called Harry) who married a Phillippa Gales (father Richard). They had 8 children - Edwin Thomas; Daisy Elizabeth; Harold Ernest; Herbert Harry (my G'father); Edith May; Ada Mary; Elsie Marion and Ivy. I believe we are descendants of Harriet Hill Sedgman and Richard Gales. I haven't proved it all yet but I grew up believing a distant uncle was Frank Sedgman the world class tennis player and names, dates and other indicators all fit. As Richard Thomas Gales he married Harriet in 1861 but sometime between then and his death he appears to have taken on the name Zebulan Richard Thomas. I'm wondering if he converted to Judaism?. A bit of a mystery.
Hope this is of some use.
