TIETSORT/Montgomery CO IL/19th C
Last week I came across this while searching for something else. It's from the History of Macoupin CO IL pub SJ Clarke 1911. "Charles W TIETSORT for 50 years published the Medora [IL] Messenger in Macoupin CO.He traces his ancestry to Staffordshire. His ancestors were driven out of England by political persecutors in 1030 and took refuge in Holland. The original English name was TIETSWORTH. Emigrating ancestors arrived at Plymouth MA from Holland between 1620 and 1630 then moved on to New Jersey, Kentucky, and Ohio." The book gives a lengthy pedigree and descendancy of Charles TIETSORT on pp 320-322. The book I saw is at the Litchfield-Carnegie Library at Litchfield IL.
