I have noticed in reading posts from a mailing list
I am subscribed to, that there seems to be two main
lines of Hankses in America. One group, (from which
I descend, is of the Benjamin Hanks line, who came to
America from England in 1699. I belive many of these
Hanks stayed in New England, and eventually migrated
west.
The other group came to America from England
sometime earlier, and eventually ended up in the
Southern states.
My question, then, is this: Does any one know of an
earlier connection between the two lines back in England?
Is there one large Hanks family from which both groups
descend?
Anyways, just thought I'd ask, maybe spark up some
discussion around here. :-)
