on a mound in Potter County, Pennsylvania, shelters a small private
graveyard. ![]() Most of his descendants have been traced to the present day thanks to the input of many members of the extended family at a couple of recent family reunions. However, hard investigation has failed to reveal the New Jersey family into which Miles H. was born. There is a strong possibility, however, that he is connected to another known branch of the Ianson/I'Anson clan - one that emigrated from Yorkshire (Wensleydale) in two waves, first at the end of the 18th century and later in the mid-19th century. (This branch of the family is related to the horseracing/curling I'Ansons, every generation of which had a son called Miles, and back to their earliest traced ancestor who was also called Miles.) |
