Check on the net for The SOHIER of Boston, that branch emigrated from Jersey in the 18th century. George SOHIER (born in Massachusett) died a few years ago but his 3 sons still live in the eastern states. (Ted in Phili, for example).
Wouldn't be surprised if you were related to that Boston branch.
As for my part, I am French and live just across Jersey, where the first Jean SOHIER move around 1525. Obviously my ancestors chose to move back to the continent but stayed in the vicinity.
