Migration of the Latey family

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time.

The Latey were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Abigall Ladyman, who sailed to Virginia in 1695; and John Ladyman to Nova Scotia in 1749.
