Washington concerning the capture of the infamous
British "Major Andre," co-conspirator of the
equally infamous traitor, Benedict Arnold.

The "Connection" is through the first immigrant
ancestors to The New World-
Edmund (1586) and Mary Bloss-Blosse (Blois) 10th g-
grandparents of Bob & his brothers Danny Del
Michael & David. Edmund would have lived 500 years
ago during the reign of the last Tudor Monarch,
Queen Elizabeth who continued her father's (Henry
the 8th's) legacy & reign of violence over the
Protestant Church. Edmund, Mary & their child Richard
left England in separate ships, seeking
religious freedom. The ship Edmund sailed on,under
extremely desperate conditions, was called "The
Francis". They were "Puritans" believing
that the existing young Protestant Church needed
purification.
Edmund and Mary are listed in the Genealogical
Dictionary of The 1st Settlers of New England, page
203.*** They were the first immigrant ancestors and
10th great grandparents, settling in the newly
formed Massachusettes Bay Colony.
The Family of Blois (Bloss) arrived in
France in the year 1000 with Stephen,Comte de Blois,
who came over with William The Conquerer a
Viking. "The National Archives-UK." The Blois Family
were prominent merchants in the 16th century
in Ipswich, residing in the Parish of St. Nicholas.

BLOIS FAMILY ARCHIVES***
Ipswich is the largest town in the country, dating
back to the 7th Century.
The Fausnaugh name is German, actually Fasnacht or
Fosnacht. It is derived from a
German festival, the evening before ash wednesday
(our mardi gras). The Fausnaughs emmigrated
from Hohengehren, Jagst, Wuerttemberg Germany in
the 1700s and settled in Fairfield co. Ohio.
Johannes Fasnacht (Leslie's 5th g grandfather) was
born in 1727 in Jagst,
Wuerttenberg, Germany.
He arrived aboard the ship Edinburgh to a port in
Philadelphia-mid-1700s. These were my
"Pennsylvania Dutch" ancestors, many of them living
in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
Johannes' parents were Samuel, born in 1698 and Maria
Fasnacht, from Hohengehren, Jagst Germany, 6th
great grandparents.
Samuel Fosnaugh, born in 1677 (1st immigrant ancestor
) & his wife Anna Maria from Kercheim Germany, were
Johannes'
grandparents, and Leslie 7th grandparents.
The Winsteads,Formerly WINSTON,who were ancestors of my gg
grandfather, Lafeyette, made their way to North
Carolina
and Virginia in the mid 1600s,(St StephensParish),
from East Riding, Yorkshire, England and Sussex
Parish Yapton (Yaptown) England. A county in
Virginia-Northumberland, is also a village in
England-(Winstead Family History-"Our Family)***
Johane Winston-Winstead & John-1555 were my
paternal 10th or 11 gg-grandparents
from Yapton, Sussex England. John's parents were John Winston, 1525 and Margery.
Artamecie Winstead-Fausnaugh was my great
grandmother, also paternal,(born 1854),her
brother's name was Noah. James Fausnaugh was my great grandfather (&
Artamecie's husband) & Lafeyette Winstead was
Artamecie's father, and my gg grandfather.
Artamecie lived during the Civil War. I am attempting
to uncover her Native American
Heritage,in the Ohio-Indiana Plains region. It has
been impossible. I don't have her mother's name
or Tribe. She
would have lived during slavery, as well as being
merely a child during Abraham Lincoln's
administration.
I have "Campbell" ancestry as well, from Scotland &
Ireland. This is continued on Ancestry. com.
census from William M. Campbell, 1880 in Sparta,
Noble co. Indiana exists stating "father is from
Ireland", no further information exists (paternal). *** This is the "Doll" family;
A Campbell (maternal) tartan was discovered by a
genealogist years ago and is in the family in
Georgia with my mother's sister Pegge Brown.
The Winsteads of my family owned many plantations and
slaves. In several wills, they have left
certain slaves to their children, sadly, like pieces
of furniture or cattle.
The latest research has uncovered a Winstead
ancestor of mine, Charles Taylor-1809, Roxboro North
Carolina, who married his SLAVE, Debbie Caroline
Green.
Her granddaughter's name was "Golden"
Winstead. It is a great honor to be her ancestor.
I actually have her photo. She was as beautiful as
her name.
The Maternal sides of both of our families have been
extremely difficult to research-the
proverbial "brick wall". Austria:Bob (Documents on Ancestry. com)
