What a fantastic, insightful, response, and thank you. Yes I am descended from the Corjeage's of Kirk Michael. My GGgrandfather was John Corjeage and when he arrived to America (Franklin Co. Ohio) it was changed to Cavendish when they arrived. It was my assumption (as erroneous as it may seem) that they emigrated from england to the IOM. So thank you for clearing that up for me. Would Ballonney be the same as Balla Kannag? My Corjeage chart goes back only to John b 1720 in Kirk Michael, but I have no town listed, md. Christian Cannon. Sound familiar?
