Australia connection?
One of my ancesters came to America through Australia. He was William Chittenden born in 1807 in Burmington, Kent, England. He was married to Mary Dunster in 1836 in Lympne (also in Kent). The two sons he had died in childhood and all his daughters (except one who was taken) came to the US with him. He did have some brothers though I wonder if they came with him and stayed in Australia.
He lived with his family in Camden, New South Wales, Australia. They rented a farm and lived a very difficult life.
