We obtained most of the information for these family trees from the website “British Settlers in Argentina and Uruguay” (www.argbrit.org).  We thank the ArgBrit website administrators for their great work!

Peard family: We did not research the Peard siblings at each generation in Ireland.  However, Aphra’s siblings are included in the Sewell family tree immediately below her ancestor chart.
