Surnames: NETTLETON
Researcher: Frank Nettleton
Date posted: Wednesday, April 30, 1997

I am a fourth-generation Pacific Northwesterner living in San Francisco, CA. My great-grandfather, also named Frank Nettleton, brought the family from Medina, OH, to South Bend, WA, in the 1880's or 1890's. I have no specific family history before that time, and would like to trace it back further. Family oral history has it that we were in Connecticut originally, and I understand a certain Samuel NETTLETON settled there from England in 1645.
