I am Sherman Barry Lett of Ottawa, Ontario. (Name changed from Letts in 1916.)

I believe Robert John was son of James son of Thomas and Elizabeth Thompson. I believe Katherine Melina was d. of Thomas son of George and Anne Turnbull (b. Scotland). It is popular guess that Thomas and George were brothers b. ca. 1815 and 1816 in Northamptonshire who emigrated to Calumet Island, Canada in 1820.

Would be very greatful to confirm Thomas and George derivation.

If you read my message of 2007 you will see the Letts family that I used to join the DAR. If you believe they are your family, I would be happy to give you information that I have.

Hello,
My Grandmother was a Letts and I'm looking information on her ancestry. I've gotten as far as John A. Letts born circa 1810 in New York (Tompkins County I think). I've hit a road block with him and have not been able to find out anything on his parents; any help would be appreciated.

Thanks JoAnn

Thanks, but my line of Letts has no known USA connections. If we could find records of George and Thomas Letts each born ca. 1815 in Northamptonshire, we might find a connection to the ones who went to the USA.
