The Simcoe Family
« on: Thursday 28 March 19 07:29 GMT (UK) »
My name is Hugh Stanley Simcoe III, and I'm happy to be here. 

According to my birth certificate, I was born April 4th, 1945, at Fort Devens Army Hospital, Ayer, Massachusetts, registered in Shirley, Massachusetts.  Actually, I was born at Burbank Hospital, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, but immediately transferred to Fort Devens, due to being born with neo-natal tetany...(ever since, this thing called "life," has been quite the adventure!)

Please forgive me if I'm going about this the wrong way, but I think it would be incredibly cool, to connect with, and learn from, relations, heretofore unknown to me. 

Possibly, a good starting point for me, is my direct decendancy to John Graves Simcoe (1752 - 1806), who, immediately being appointed  Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1791 until 1796 in southern Ontario, following the American Revolutionary War.

Welcome to Rootschat.

I do think you might get a better reaction if you change the title of your thread to include the name Simcoe.

Good luck with your search.

Thank you!  I re-posted my message, having taken your welcome suggestion.  I tried to delete the original, but was unable to...is there a way to delete messages, once they are posted?

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

You have posted on the Northamptonshire board, though you don’t mention a link to Northamptonshire.  Is that where John Graves Simcoe was originally from?

Hi Hugh.

I have just watched a film where Cotterstock Hall was featured.

As John was the son of John( Esquire) and Katherine baptised on the 5th Mar 1752, I presume that must have been where your ancestor was born ?
