The Dream of Generations: 2020 Week #3 Long Line

There are 2 lines in my family tree that I have the details and documentation that I can confidently trace back 13 generations!!! One I will talk about in a different post hopefully later this year. The one I'll talk about today I can actually trace back 14 generations but most of the details begin with a man name Joseph Loomis. Below is the lineage.

The most interesting thing is that almost this entire line starting with Joseph lived in America! Joseph was a Woolen Draper and left from London England on April 11th, 1638. He came to America on the ship the Susan & Ellen. They arrived in Boston Massachusetts on July 17th, 1638. They remained in Dorchester Massachusetts for about a year before moving to the Windsor Connecticut area in 1639 where they remained until his death in 1658. A few years ago I came across a book that was published with the Loomis Lineage and it follows all the way down to my 3x great grandparents. Which gives me the confidence to say that Joseph Loomis was my 10x great grandfather!!! It's mind blowing to think about the DEEP roots my family has in America and that they were some of the first settlers in Connecticut.
