  • Note from Theresa Renée Tossas Walker- I just have this feeling, this Esther is named after her Aunt or Great Aunt, possibly. Or my Esther is possibly, named after her Grandmother and this Esther and her somehow, share this ancestor... I´m also accepting any collaboration offers, on this one, too! So please, connect. ;-)

I´m going to be looking in to, what I can find on the Parents (and especially siblings) of my Esther Clark(e) married to John Grosvenor (the Immigrant b. about- 1640 probably near or in Northbridge Shropshire, England.). Esther (Clarke) and John Grosvenor are founders of Pomfret. (There´s at least one in CT & MA. They are buried either in the old cemetary in Pomfret, CT (John) or in the Sabin Family Cemetary (Esther, I believe is there). All profiles are Public and merged/collaborating with others here, as well.)
