Scotland / Re: Scottish ancestors at Battle of Worcester 1651?
« on: Saturday 10 December 11 02:07 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for this thread. I am brand new to RootsChat and don't ask me why. I have been studying my ancestry for some time and just now come across this site. I look forward to learning and sharing.
In the meantime, I have traced my name sake back to Massachusetts and have found that family tradition has my 8th and 9th great grandfathers on the John and Sara that unloaded in 1652. They are listed as John and Patricke MACKFARSON or McFARSON or McPHEARSON and for some reason changed the family name to FASSET or FASSETT when they arrived in Boston.
I have a lot of studying and researching to do. I will check out the The Battle of Worcester Society website. The thought just occurred to me, I don't know if Patricke was married before he was shipped over here, but I know that John (Patricke's father) would have been, at least at one time. So what would have happened to the families these guys left behind?
Again, thanks for this thread.
