In addition to the HOLT family (descendants of Nicholas Holt, who came to Newburyport, MA in 1635), I am researching the SPRINGER family (ACKERMAN, PLATT, WHEELER, SCOVEL, TROWBRIDGE in KY,IN,IL), the McCURDY/MACKAY families(PA), and the MOREJON family (BICKLEY, JOYNES, SCHWARZWAELDER in PA, MD). Silas HOLT was a first landowner in Ingham County, Michigan in 1835.If you are researching Michigan HOLTs, I may have information you can use. I have not been able to trace the SPRINGER family back, with certainty, farther than James A. SPRINGER who was born in Cape May County, New Jersey in 1798. Archibald MCCURDY came to Philadelphia from County Antrim in Northern Ireland around 1850. Hugh MACKAY came from Pultneytown(Wick), Caithness, Scotland to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada circa 1873.Eventually he brought his family to the Philadelphia, PA area. The MOREJON family is a real puzzle.Manuel MOREJON was born in Cuba of Spanish parents.He was in Baltimore, Maryland in 1873 and married Margaret JOYNES (JOINES). They moved to Philadelphia.
