Amy Johnson Crow, on her blog No Story Too Small, has challenged her fellow bloggers to post 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. This is week forty-four, in my attempt to catch up before the end of the year!
I know very little about my great-great-great-great grandfather John Lloyd. He was born in Ireland in 1774, but I don’t know who his parents were or if he had siblings.
He married Margaret Glover around 1798. At some point after their marriage, they emigrated to Ontario, Canada, ultimately settling in Brock Township, Ontario. To the best of my information, they had nine children: Caleb, Eliza, Glover, Marmaduke, Maria, Jane, Margaret, John and William.
John died on August 22, 1848 and is buried in the St. John Cemetery in Sunderland, Ontario.
This is my 5th great grandfather! Have you considered taking an autosomal DNA test? Which line is yours? I am a descendant of Marmaduke…..

Catching up on the 52Ancestors posts at the end of the year is cheating but such a great idea, I’m going to do it too!
