THE MINOR-MINER FAMILIES - FIFTH GENERATION

Home

Thomas Minor (1608 - 1690) emigrated from Chew Magna, England to New England where he has become the progenitor of many descendants. A basic reference for this Minor/Miner family ancestry is "Thomas Minor, Descendants, 1608 - 1981" by John Augustus Miner (1981). Many of those surnamed Minor or Miner living in the United States are descendants of this Thomas of Chew Magna, England.

This page is a tabulation of the fifth generation of the Thomas Minor family. The fifth generation has been subdivided into four branches based on primary residence of the parents in either Woodbury, New London, Lyme, or Stonington, CT. The fifth generation begins the scattering of the Miner family throughout North America with MA, VT, NY, PA, and Nova Scotia being common destinations.
