HEIGHWAY family research in England
This message is regarding the HEIGHWAY family line of Samuel HEIGHWAY from Shropshire, England who settled in Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio in 1797.This Samuel would be my great great great great grandfather.
In 1978-1980 I had contact with a gentleman in England named John Dundas HEIGHWAY, M.D. from Lincolnshire, ENGLAND.He generously did some research on my HEIGHWAY family line during his summer vacation in Pontesbury, England.He found that his family line and mine are not the same -- his research went all the way back to the 1600's.
He found a church there in Pontesbury that had many family records from my HEIGHWAY family line.According to those records, Samuel HEIGHWAY came to America from Pontesbury, Shropshire England, in 1792, and returned again in 1797 -- which is what I have for my family line already.He was married to a Susannah, according to the England records, and not a Helen.They had 8 children [and not just two as the records I previously had noted] -- Thomas (b. 1768), unnamed child (b. 1770) Susannah Anne (b. 1778) Samuel (b. 1781), John (b. 1782) Mary (b. 1785) and Edward (b. 1787)Samuel and John were the two sons who came to America with their parents.
Samuel HEIGHWAY was the son of Samuel (b 1721) and Elizabeth (b 1727) HEIGHWAY -- he had 5 siblings: William (b 1750) John (b 1753) Richard (b 1755) Thomas (b 1757) and Mary possibly Margaret (b. 1759).
Samuel (who was married to Elizabeth) had 9siblings Mary (b 1715), Martha (b 1722), William (b 1724) Thomas (b. 1725) William (b. 1728) Elizabeth (b 1730) Thomas (b. 1732) Ann (b. 1733) and Richard (b 1735) -- interesting that some of the siblings shared the same name -- perhaps there were some infant deaths -- or different middle names.
These 10 children were born to William(b 1685) and Mary HEIGHWAY (b 1695) in Pontesbury, Shropshire -- and that is the end of the family information I have.I hope to travel to England some day to see for myself.
Susan
