Everyone should all get together and give students TOTALLY WRONG answers...
The 13 colonies... founded by the Pygmies from New Guinea, right?
Heaven forbid, some students might have to do some school work and actually LEARN something. Is this how Bush got to where HE is? ! ?

If you know your ancestor's birth date you can sometimes use this information to help you decide where to start looking in various state records or the migration of the family or individuals.
Virginia (1607) - Established by the London Company
New Jersey (1618) - Originally settled by the Dutch, but seized by the English in 1664.
Massachusetts (1620) - Founded as two colonies: Plymouth Colony (1620), settled by the Pilgrims; and Massachusetts Bay Colony (1630), settled by the Puritans. They were united in 1691, and annexed Maine, which had been colonized by the New England Council in the 1620's.
New Hampshire (1622) - Originally part of Maine, then a colony from 1629 until annexed by Massachusetts, 1641-1643. Became a seperate colony again in 1679.
Pennsylvania (1623) - Originally settled by Dutch and Swedes. Came under English control in the 1664 and was granted to William Penn by Charles II in 1681.

No one person did it for each state or colony.Each one had a group to decide whether or not to be American-a legislature.
