Cousin Bill, I've got the book, read the book, knew the author.
Knew most of his sources also. It's a wonderfull book, full of
good information, but, not without errors and assumptions. I've yet, in years of research, to be able to find conclusive
proof of where they came from. I'm still looking! An earlier
researcher suggested Wales, via Barbados, to Virginia, and
then to Maryland?!? I've yet to find any remotely conclusive
proof one way or the other. I do know that there were a
number of Tawes in the Old Parish Registers of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire in Scotland pre 1700.
