Excerpt from A Register of the Ancestors of Dorr Eugene Felt and Agnes (McNulty) Felt There is record of the baptism or marriage of William and he may have belonged to ather branch of the family. This baptism does t agree with two depositions that the emigrant made, neither of which are alike, but it is torious that depositions are generally incorrect in the matter of ages. Of more significance is the fact that he came from a parish only three miles from Woburn, co. Bedford - a name which was given to a part of Charlestown where George Felt settled. John Sears, also born at Leighton, emigrated to Charlestown in that part w called Woburn. In 1634 at a Mar Court held 29 May, 1634, the jurors presented the name of George Felce among others as t appearing with bows and arrows as required by the customs of the Mar. It is probable that by this time he had departed from Leighton Buzzard and had emigrated to New England as there is further record of any fine inflicted. Local records show that the family still continued to reside there and in other Bedfordshire parishes long after this date. Stray persons of the name of Felts and Felts are found in various London parishes as early as 1550, but they are believed to be connected with the Bedfordshire families who had gone to London to engage in business. In fact, Bedfordshire is the only county where the name is found and this makes the identification of the emigrant the more certain.
