Searching for any and all information about my Bahamian ancestors. I've traced my ggg-grandfatherJoseph Hance Deal's arrival as far back as 1823.I have no idea where he came from however it's possible that he settled there earlier than that.I have a document which indicates Abraham Pratt, a Quaker from Pennsylvania,lived on the Island as early as 1755, Henry Glinton c.1783 and Samuel and James Knowles 1789.
Any details no matter how small would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yolanda Deal Rotondo
