The Three Micah Gedlings.
It doesn't look like this forum gets much in the way of visitors, but I'll ask this question anyway. Does anyone know if they are descended from any of the three Micah GEDLINGs from Nottingham in the UK. The first Micah,the son of a William GEDLING, was born about 1725. His son Micah was born about 1756, and he died in 1843. He also had a son, Micah. He was born in 1784, and died in 1842, pre-deceasing his father by a few months. He had three daughters, Sophia, Mary Ann and Caroline. Sophia died unmarried in 1831. Mary Ann married a John BRADLEY and had twelve children. Caroline married a Francis SIMES ALLIOT with whom she had three children.
My own connection is through my gt.gt.grandmother, Hannah GEDLING. Her father was the first Micah.
The GEDLING surname is now very uncommon here in the UK, but a search on Google reveals quite a few referencesto it in the States. I would love to find if and how they are connected to my Nottingham GEDLINGs.
