Hi Kathy,

I have the following information and I was wondering if it had any connection with what you posted already. I am trying to see if there is any connection between (my relative) Jebez Jervis b 1725 to Admiral John Jervis, Earl of St. Vincent or at least if I could find the family member who crossed over from England (or from France) to the USA.

Thanks,

-Wayne Jervis
