My part of the Churchill family came into US at Massachursetts late 1600s or early1700s. From out of there they moved to Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Alaska, BC and Alberta. What I know for fact is that Samuel S. Churchill (wife Hannah) moved from Hubbard county, Minnesota to Washington state. The Churchills of Hubbard county today are all my relatives. Samuel homesteaded in the Snoqualmie Pass area in Washington. In his early 50s he died of pnemonia. Two of his sons prospected in the Yukon, Alaska and Northern California. One took up watchmaking in Seattle and my grandfather (Fredrick) homesteaded in Alberta. He late lived in BC and worked as a carpenter and orchardist in Washington state. He passed in 1980 at the age of 99. His brothers names were Claude, John/George and Leroy. Samuels father was (DR.?) John L. Churchill (b.1818 in Conn. d. 3/2/87 Hubbard cty) and his siblings were William K.(H?), Charles, Clara, Alfred and Mabel. Family homestead was N.W. quarter, section26 site of present day fairgrounds, Hubbard cty, Minn. At this point it is believed they descended from the Churchills who moved from Plymouth, Massachusetts to Wethersfield, Connecticut in the 1670s.
