A tentative, unofficial and probably incomplete list of qualifying ancestors for America's First Families from Freeman Family Lines would include about 60 couples who settled in New England prior to 1676 and about 20 couples who settle in the southern states prior to 1676. The list is too numerous to maintain here, but many are included in the site Surnames.
