As author of this website my focus has been providing data to my extended relatives.I have accepted information from our fellow relatives without verifing the accuracy of their information.If you know of any inaccuracies, please let me know and I will correct any errors. William Tomerlin came to America by stowing away in his brother's cabin aboard the Hannah & Elizabeth.His ship sailed from London, England to Jamestown, VA in 1679. Most likely William Tomerlin was born and raised somewhere in England, although the Tomerlin family legend claims William was Irish.After researching Ireland, there are no Tomerlins to be found.In England, the Tomerlin surname can be found frequently as far back as 1600.Consequently, evidence would indicate William Tomerlin was probably English.
