Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Ailibolms to arrive on North American shores: Thomas Allibone who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1813; Engel Albin settled in America in 1707.
