Hi Shirley,
Our families separated after David and Rebecca.Our branch is from Asa, their 13th child.Two more generations (Alan Lapham and Alan Lapham, Jr.) stayed in the colonies. Alan Jr. m. and had a son Moses Lapham.That wife died and he married again and had Thomas Church Lapham (generation 8) and that wife died. It is not clear who raised Thomas Church but at the age of 18 he is in Brooklyn, NY living with a Lapham 3rd cousin who is an attorney. This was about 1855.He married Asenath Hoagland, whose ancestors were the first dutch settlers in NY.Thomas Church apparently never went back to MA and his father willed all to the first son, Moses. Thomas Church Lapham had 6 children and Robert Lapham was (generation 9) of our line.Robert had 6 children and Harold Church Lapham (generation 10) was my husband's father.My husband (generation 11, dec. 1988) was also Robert Lapham and we have a daughter and 4 sons including David and Thomas (generation 12).My granddaugher Katie Lapham is generation 13.My husband knew almost nothing of his roots until I organized the 1987 Lapham reunion in Midland Park, NJ and did the history.
