Hello.My maiden name is TUSCAN. Our furthest back ancestor was JOHN A. TUSCAN b. 1787 in either NH. or Mass.. not certain.I have been looking, trying to find information on who his parents were and where they come from. Our family story is that we are Italian. ..and there were three brothers from Italy that came to American possibly via England ??And when they all settled in different places in America.The name Tuscan seems to be quite rare.
I found a Joseph Tuscan who was in the Pennsylvania Militia in 1787 with Depreciation Pay.And have seen an Eleanor Tuscan on the Family Search site.It says she was in Maryland.. and Joseph.. there was mention about Maryland.I would think being of a close amount of years, between the surnames. that we there must be a relationship, and either father son, or uncle?? or sister Eleanor.I found she married Thomas Shipley.Is there any information in the Shipley family of this marriage and information of the Tuscan family.What nationality, religion.. anything about them? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I have been searching for a long time. Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you would... Respectfully, Sally Foster, Solon, Maine.
