During the 1800's, some moved to Canada, and to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Washington D.C., Wyoming, and elsewhere. Some adoptions, aliases, legal name changes, military service, and other special situations are mentioned.
