My family name is Rockwood. The first reference I know of was in 1767 in Benjamin Lester's journal. I haven't been able to find out where the first Rockwood came from but his name was William and he settled in Heart's Content with his wife, Rachael. Their son, William, was born there in 1772.

A relative from California believes William Rockwood was born in New Hampshire and came here during the French-Indian Wars, known in Canada as the Seven Years War.

I've searched around Devon, Dorset and Somerset for the Rockwood name but haven't had much success.

Where should I go next? Maritime History Archives - ship's records? Where would I find records of Americans that came here at that time?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
