Not sure what year. But there was 2 brothers that came to America. They both got to Ellis Island but after that they got separated. I do have some information. The furthest I have gotten back to is a Joseph Giles married to Deliverance Clark around June 5 1793 in New Hampshire. They had 6 children. Polly Giles (1798), Joseph Giles (1800), Sarah Giles (1802), Hannah Giles (1804-1855), Cyrus Giles (1806-1871) and Henry Giles (1806).
