England Surname Searchers: Joseph England and His Descendants; a genealogy book compiled and written by C. Walter England in 1973. I have this book in my possession and can search within it's index if needed. Joseph England was born on Sept 02,1680 in Burton-on-the-Trent, Staffordshire, England. He and his wife Margaret Orbell, and their children, John, b. Nov 5,1711, Samuel, b. June 18, 1717, and Joanna b. Sept 29, 1721 came to America in 1723. Joseph purchased 500 acres of wooded land in what is now called Calvert, Maryland but was then called Brick Meeting House and was considered Nottingham Township, which was part of Pennsylvania. Many of his descendants migrated to other parts of the country, Nebraska, Ohio, etc. Although there were other England's that came to America during that time, this family is thoroughly documented within this genealogical compilation. If anyone needs a search done that would be within this family, I will do my best to answer their inquiries. For those interested, you also may still be able to locate this book at some Historical Societies, or in the National Archives. Regards - Gene
