Northrop Genealogy ~~~ Southport, Connecticut ~~~ Other Possble Lines for Amos' Father

Check the links above for Alvin, George Elmore Northrop and George Ives Northrop

My quest has been to find some missing connections. There are no absolutely obvious connections for Amos Northrop or for Rachel Ives. In the Northrop/Northrop published volume, they are listed as "unconnected families"

Amos and Rachel          

Another undocumented connection is Margaret Hannigan or Harrigan

The branch of Northrops in Southport Connecticut can be traced back to Joseph Northrop who arrived in the new world in 16xx and settled in Milford, Connecticut.
