Samuel Sturtevant

I have been told that all Sturtevants in the US are descended from this Samuel Sturtevant. This link is courtesy of James Clifton Mayfield, also a descendant of Samuel. Jim does not know me and we have never met, but we are related. I found this link through the magic of the Web.
