I tumbled down the ancestral rabbit hole

Spent days on ancestry.com. What a great way to spend Covid-19-lock-down time. It feels once I start discovering ancestors, I can not stop. I traced my mother's father's mother (Vera Lockhart) side back to England to my 11th great-grandfather, Sir Edward Montague born in 1530. 

Found my mother's mother's father comes from a long line of Ezells back in Kentucky, going way back to a last name of Anstice Issell (11th great-grandfather), to a small island between England and France, Scilly Island. In 1805 Jeremiah Ezell (1775-1838), originally from Virginia, moved to Tennessee.
