Peter came to the New World most likely in the 1670s settling in Wethersfield CT, thus establishing the first New World Blinn Family. He supposedly was an attorney in England but he did became a reknowned joiner in America. He had 8 known children from two or three wives. Visit his page for more information. |

James was a mariner, Captain, the first; we are aware of; of many Blinn men to go to sea. Possible birth year 1680. Possible death 1731. He had three sons; James, William, and Peter. Margaret Dennison's lineage is unknown, other than that she was the daughter of William Dennison of Milton MA. In an undocumented (by me) record from ancestry.com, her birthday was 21 Jul 1677 in Milton MA, death was 19 Jul 1736. She might be a relative of the famous Denison Family of New England or someone else entirely. More to come. |

Of course anyone is welcome to view the pictures, however there is not a lot of genealogical data on them. I made them more for fun than for information. I tried to mix the more informative ones within this site. If you have photos or other information which would improve the site, please send it to me. |
