Hi
My great grandfather James Morrison COLWELL said the family was from
SCOTLAND.
All the MORRISONs I've found have been from Ireland (altho maybe from
Scotland via Ireland), so now I'm trying to figure out if our COLWELLs are
from Scotland.
Thomas COLWELL b. unknown place Unk year but about 1795 married Unknown.
His son James Morrison m. Amelia Collins of Troy, Rennselaer NY in 1839.
Their dau. Amelia MORRISON m. Thomas COLWELL who grew up near Troy. So,
probably COLWELLs in New York since atleast 1840. Does this sound familiar
to anyone.
I'm especially interested in teh Colwell's of Oyster Bay NY and Dutchess Co
NY .
Thanks for any help
Kate Colwell
