    Hello,

    When searching for my Drew relatives, I came across your blog. My Drew family came from the Cornwall, England area, and immigrated to the Scranton, PA area. (Throop and Olyphant, to be more exact.) I have plenty of information about the Drew family once they arrived, but I do not know their ancestors.

    I have a John William Drew, b. ~1883, and married to Mary Elizabeth "Lizzy" Freeman. This family spent some time in the Scranton area, but many of them ended up moving to the Buffalo, NY area.

    If this sounds famillar, please let me know. I can be reached at vlakieste@yahoo.com
