My brother did an extensive family history going back 11 generations in some places. Quite a few members of the colonial army included, and with the exception of one oddball marrying a girl from Connecticut not a Yankee in the bunch.

Well, not a lot of movement back then between north and south. People stayed where their ancestors settled...and even now, to a degree.

in re Connecticut, from my Maine Mother-in-Law:

At the time I was living in Norwalk.
