WWI Soldier - Frederick Gayland Sandy, Pvt.

"This morning (actually yesterday) March 15th, my friend Gayland Sandy brought me a complete copy of his family history dating back to 1379 in Cumberland County, England and I've glanced through it some. I hope to have some answers for Sidney Clark in Wales, UK. within a week or so.

This is one of the most fascinating family histories I've come across. He had ancestors who arrived on a ship BEFORE the Mayflower! The first child of Henry Sandy (son of Sir Edwin Sandy, Jr. who in turn was the son of Archbishop Edwin Sandy, Sr.) born in America was Henry Miles Sandy, born in 1642 in James City, Virginia Colony!!! Also mentioned in these notes is that the Mayflower was supposed to land at Jamestown but got lost in a storm and landed in Massachusetts instead! I didn't recall knowing that. I find names in this also of some folks who may be related to friends of my past in Oklahoma City." -- Roy K.
