Hello distant cousin!  I am told that there are Tears in my family a few generations back.  Specifically a Richard Teare who married a servant girl and was sent to New Brunswick.  He was supposedly born early 19th century and was purported to be the younger brother of the Earl of Bella Kenney.  He had a daughter named Mary Jane alleged to have been born in New Brunswick.  Easy to trace after that but I am stuck at Richard Tear.  Can you help?  Thank you so!  Rhonda Winebarger thehonyock@yahoo.com
