I'm researching Aston descendent's that have moved to the United States.

I believe my line is
Richard 1745 - Susanna Evans 1750
Son of Richard: Emanuel 1787 - Elizabeth Rudge 1874
Son of Emanuel: Henry 1832 (who moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and then Mason County West Virginia)

I also believe Henry's two brothers Emanuel 1822 & Thomas 1834 also moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and then Mason County West Virginia.

Other than lots of coincidences, I have no "proof" that my Henry Aston is from this family. From what I've found, there is no mention of these brothers after the 1851 UK Census. Does anyone have any further information? Also, in this Census the family is woodcutters, but the Aston's that moved to the US are miners.

Also, is this Richard of 1745 the same one that was sent to Sidney as a convict in 1800? I find it hard to believe as it appears he has a lot of wealth as reflected in his will.
