from Jennifer Arnold, genforum Daniel Cone, Jan 22, 1999
"Daniel Cone being captured when Cromwell defeated the Royalist at theBattle of Dunbar, 1650, and then deported as a captured prisoner to theMass. colony. I think records now state that Ambrose Bennent of the Isleof Wight County of Virginia indentured David Cone some 20 years beforeDaniel Cone being captured when Cromwell defeated the Royalists. Moreso, a Neile McKone was also listed on the same proclamation of prisonersto be deported. The oral Cone/Kelsey family lore reported the The familywas'banished from England' for supporting the House of Stuart for thethrone of England. The story related that the whole shipload werebanished families sent to the colonies. The Kelsey's were early settlersand Puritans who came fro religious freedom with the Thomas Hooker,Braintree group, so it may relate to the Cone/Spenser family.
