Morrissey, Shea, Baber, Hardwicke

I am researching the my maternal lines. These families came mainly from England to the early colonies and Southern Atlantic states with migration through Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas. Surnames include: Arthur, Baber, Boykin, Daniel, Dillard, Hardwicke, Lytle, Morton, Simmons, Starke, Stevens, Tyler, Wyatt.

I am also researching my paternal lines. These families came mainly from Ireland to Nova Scotia and later Prince Edward Island. Surnames include: Callaghan, Croucher, Gayton, Knox, Larkin, MacDonald, McKenna, Morrissey, Pendergast, Pepperal, Shea.

I would greatly appreciate any help and am also willing to share anything I have. I strive to document all sources and indicate where evidence is shaky. If you find any inaccuracies, please email me so that I can correct my errors. Thank you!
