Hello there,

An ancestor of mine Wade Stubbs, left Cheshire, England as an early settler in Florida in the days of George111. He lived in St. Augustine at first until Florida was ceded to the Spanish. He could become a Catholic or leave. He chose the latter - after marrying Annis Piles Smith, the widow of a captain on the St. John`s river. They were given compensation for their lands and moved to Nassau first before going to the Turks & Caicos islands
