Английская Википедия:Dana family
The Dana family is a Boston Brahmin family that arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts from England during the later end of the Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640).
Richard Dana, immigrant
The patriarch, Richard Dana (Шаблон:Circa1620Шаблон:Mdash1690) was said to have been born in France. A Huguenot, he would have fled to England as a result of the Edict of Restitution of 1629, and subsequently emigrated to New England, settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts by 1640.[1][2][3] However there is no evidence that any Dana was among the Huguenots that fled to England, and there was a Richard Dana born in Manchester, England in 1617 who is the right age and disappears from English records before Richard Dana arrives in Cambridge.[4]
In Cambridge, he served numerous posts in the local government, including selectman, constable, tythingman, and grand juror.[5] He married Ann Bullard about 1648.[6] The couple had fourteen children, all born in Cambridge:[7]
