[QUOTE="tampasteve, post: 76754835, member: 398316"] The familial name before it was changed in the 1400s was "St. Leger" and then was changed in the mid 1400s, likely due to the change in the monarchy to the house of Tudor. Ralph St Leger of Ulcombe in Kent was Sheriff of Kent in 1467-8 and was constable of Leeds Castle in Kent. You can see his grave site still in Kent. That family side was pretty local to England. Eventually they moved into Ireland as part of the colonizers in the North. Then they made their way into Massachusetts in the early 1700s but rather quickly moved to Pennsylvania and then down to North Carolina. One was a Loyalist in the war for Independence and was in jail in NC for part of that time....another on the other side fought and died in 1777 at the Battle of Oriskany in New York for the Continental Army. Pretty much after that people stayed put until they made it down here to FL when it became a Territory. [/QUOTE]
