Just wondering if anyone on SRP is from or lives near Franklin Indiana.
My dad has carried on doing our family history (after my late grand dad) and found that one of our ancestors escaped the UK and moved to Franklin in about 1840, his name was Timothy Bertenshaw. They carried on with a family trade when they moved there (felt and hat making) but then seemed to take up farming. There is a cemetery out there called Bertenshaw cemetery which we think or guess is/was on their land.
Some even older relatives moved out to America in the 1700's, but they went to the New Jersey area.
Any one know any Bertenshaw's (or Burtenshaws, burtonshaws, bertinshaws....same family.....different spellings) ??
