@durhamfox5271 Yes, I'm mostly English, as far as my bloodline. My paternal family, the Mattingleys, were some of the first to settle Maryland after Lord Baltimore founded it. They ran a tobacco plantation on 250 acres close to Port Tobacco. They were escaping Catholic persecution, though, by the time of the Revolution, my ancestor wasn't very religious. 😁They ended up migrating into Virginia, and what became Kentucky.
My mother's family, the Hackneys, I'm ashamed to say, were Quakers, but my great many-times grandfather left that religion, made his way through Virginia, and settled in the most westerly part, which later became eastern Kentucky. He was a farmer, and was one of the largest landowners, as well.
My grandmother, on my mother's side, was a Bingham, and, yes, they were Lord Bingham's relation, where one branch owned the Louisville Courier Journal.
My paternal grandmother, though, was from a French Huguenot line, the Remi family, who became the Rameys in the US, and they were another large landowner, and close to President Harrison, who were farmers.

@durhamfox5271 Oh, I'm not ashamed of the family, just the Quakers, especially since the religion caused so much upheaval in both England and the US. The Diggers were from the Quakers, and the Quakers, alongside several other communal religious groups, were at the roots of the radical left.
This religion is where the first ideas of not being allowed to own real property (land) was pushed from, as well as their monastic and co-op type of living on a "common ownership of land." I have no problem with those that wish to live this way, but when they try to force it upon everyone else, which many did, then I have a problem with that. I'd bet the rural Russians and Ukrainians did as well, after 1917.
