A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees

There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

George Brickhouse/Hannah Luddington

This couple was NOT from Massachusetts. They were married in 1661 in Hungar's Parish Virginia. The record was published many years ago in the William and Mary Quarterly, from the original. I believe George Briskhouse was a Quaker who gave land for a meeting house. He received a large land grant in 1672. This is not the only attempt to transplant a New England family to the Virginia Colonies. It's just as wrong.
William Luddington who arrived in Massachusetts Bay was there until he left for New Haven and died there in 1661. He was never in Virginia and no daughter named Hannah is mentioned.

    Dropping in at Halloween-time 2020 to thank you for this post. I'm trying to link the VA. Luddington's to Millie Luddington wife of Ambrose Williams. I think she comes from the Thomas Luddington at Roanoke and William Luddington at Jamestown who was also the Burgess for York Co, VA.
