I am looking for connections to the surname LESTER of Connecticut. I believe I am descended from Andrew and his wife, Barbara ?

Jeni:

According to a record left me by an aunt, there was indeed a Daniel Lester in my line. According to this record, he was born December 8, 1783. This has never made sense to me as I know I am descended from Andrew's son, Timothy. Timothy had Elisha (1) who had Elisha (2). I know that Timothy was born in 1768 and Elisha (1) in 1795, so the 1783 is a puzzle. If you can help me unravel this mystery, please contact me directly.

Thank you,
Carol

The last mystery to me is, do you have any clue as to where in England Andrew Lester was born? No one has been able to discover his birthplace.

Thank you,

Surnames: FOX, LESTER
Hi Carol! I'm researching the Fox Family of Montville, CT.
Thomas Fox (1619-1692) m Hannah Brooks (1626-1692) on 1 Oct 1668 in New London, CT. They had a daughter, Hannah, born 25 Sept 1648 in Concord, MA, d 22 Feb 1712, in New London. She married Daniel Lester, son of Andrew Lester. "Descendents of Eliphalet Fox of Concord, MA, c 1644" compiled by George Henry Fox, New York, 1931, states that Daniel was a step-brother to Hannah. I can find out more on the Lester family if you'd like. Let me know! Good luck in your search. Jeni
