I read your message on the FINCHes.My grandfather used to tell me a story about three of his ancesters, that they were brothers in England and that they were "shanghaied" and forced to come to America.When they got close to Connecticut they jumped ship and swam ashore.One stayed there but the other two came to Michigan.He said that the one saved some people from a fire in Connecticut and that there was a statue dedicated to him somewhere there.Does this sound familiar?I hope so because I hadn't thought about this story in years until I read about the three brothers that came from England.
