And to find out if you qualify for this re-union you need to be a relative of a descendant of Henry Sewall (1576-1656) and the ONLY way to do this 
is to buy a copy of:
The Descendants of
HENRY SEWALL (1576-1656)
of Manchester and Coventry, England,
and Newbury and Rowley, Massachusetts
by Eben W. Graves
Which should be available later this month from the Newbury Street Press, special publications imprint of the NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY priced at $59.95 e-mail sales@nehgs.org (That's about £30.00 to you Sewells who chose to flee America!)
In a new compiled genealogy, Eben W. Graves documents the genealogy of this well-known New England family from its origins in Coventry, England, to its immigration to Massachusetts in the 1630s, through the sixth generation in North America, taking the family into the early nineteenth century.
The Sewall family has produced lawyers, judges (a chief justice or two), citizen-soldiers (from private to general), and clergymen.The family supported both sides during the American Revolution. As is typical in the first 250 years of English settlement in North America, the family had its share of farmers, tanners, cordwainers, and housewrights. A close inspection also reveals instances of bankruptcy, madness, and embezzlement.
Graves has consulted a wide variety of primary sources and has also ncorporated diary entries, newspaper clippings, and other writings that bring the members of this family to life. Luminaries in this family include
Massachusetts Chief Justice, witchcraft trial judge, and diarist Samuel Sewall;
Dummer Sewall, an officer in the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars and later justice of the Massachusetts Court of Common Pleas; the abolitionist Rev. Samuel Joseph May and his niece, the author Louisa May lcott; and Henry Sewall, a Revolutionary War officer and a founder of
the Society of the Cincinnati.
