Hello,
Just so everybody who was posted messages here, there are multiple distinct
HERSEY families in the U.S. The two major ones are from New
England (with ancestors from
England) and Wiregrass
Georgia and
Florida (southeast
Georgia and northern
Florida. The Wiregrass
Georgia HERSEY families have an Indian male ancestor who I believe to be Thomas
HERSEY (1803-1906) from
Coffee and
Ware Co., Georgia.
An overview of the
HERSEY families and the DNA test results that have established the Indian ancestry for the Wiregrass georgia Herseys are available on my Web site for Hersey; i.e.,

HERSEY from Wiregrass Georgia; a 3rd great granddaughter of old Thomas
HERSEY.
