A Surname Inquiry
Wye, Paxton
I am looking for information on the Wye family who lived at or near Dunchurch. Specifically I am looking for Henry Wye b. c. 1851 and George Wye b.c. 1858. I am related to their brother James Wye, who immigrated to Yale, St. Clair Co, Michigan. I'm looking for any information about their parents.
