Huntingdonshire / Re: James Gaunt of Great Paxton

I stumbled onto this forum while searching for information on my family. I'm Sarah Gaunt, daughter of James, and this thread really caught my eye! I was looking for information/facts behind a family rumor. The rumor is that we owned a castle in Retford just a few decades ago, but that it lay unclaimed for so long that the government turned it into a nursing home... Sounds outrageous and exciting to me, so I was looking it up.
Our family history breaks off in the middle there, leaving a great huge chunk of nothingness. We don't know how we got from England to America. My family's been in America for generations now. (Mostly Texas and Illinois.)
