I believe all Furmans in the US descended from John Firmin, who arrived at Watertown,Mass. in 1630. Presently (unless you can find Glenn Sungela's listing) the most comprehensive listing on-line is at http://bellsouthpwp2.net/w/i/wifua/johnfirm.htm.Myhttp://bellsouthpwp2.net/w/i/wifua/johnfirm.htm.My line descends from # 29 in that list. A complete listing is available at the NY Public Library. or the Library of Congress although I have neither seen nor used these sources personally. Our family owned the farm in Newtown (now in Elmhurst, Queens, NY) until about 1929. Early generations did move to NJ. Steve Murphy
