ENGLISH ROOTS
One family has been documented by Yvone Shultiz in connection with her research on the Hunt Family in North America. Mary Hunt of Wiltshire England married Thomas Wingrove born St Ledgers and spent several years in Ontario with his Wingrove brothers and uncles before packing up the family and moving into the remote area of Alpena Michigan. Many of the Hunt family also made the trek to Michigan as well
