The English Ancestors of Gabriel Lount - Bücher neu kaufen

Graham Lount in his account of the North American Lount family attributes its origin to the emigration of Gabriel Lount who was "an unaccompanied lad of about 14 when he arrived in Pennsylvania from England in 1773 aboard the sailing ship 'Snow Britannia'. With a few minor exceptions, all persons bearing the Lount name in North America are descendants of Gabriel." Based on this Gabriel Lount would have been born about 1759. Over the years researchers in the USA and the UK have sought to identify the English parents of Gabriel Lount the Emigrant. Gabriel Lount is an uncommon name and intriguingly three generations of persons named Gabriel Lount, a grandfather, father and son, have been found in the parish records of Slawston in Leicestershire. More recent research presented here strongly suggests that Gabriel Lount of Slawston and Mary Cook of Brixworth in Northamptonshire were the English parents of Gabriel Lount the Emigrant who was born in Brixworth in 1754.
