Comments: Hi, I just found some genealogy work that my dad did years ago. Just for fun I thought I'd search some of the names. The first name I looked up was Quinton B. Prey d. 1667 and found your page. If there is any info you need that you can't find I might have it. It goes back to 1626. Take care, Dave Foley df1016@comcast.net
