The original family name may well originate from the French name: "Rochefort" which means strong rock and is an old city t in the midwest of France. One might imagine that our ancestors were call De Rochefort...which means from the place where there is a strong rock (castle??)
Family trees are understandably quite extensive. This page contains four generations starting with Bartholomew and Janapher Carne Rotchford down to the children of Richard Libby Jr. and Eva Chase Rotchford. You can find other lines of descent by finding descendants that indicate links for further family. Of course this is a project without an end. Please send corrections or further information to jkrotchford@msn.com.
Note the Following:
Names that have a link mean the person has a page of their own with hopefully more information. We've tried to exclude identifying information on descendant who are still living. Please contact jkrotchford@msn.com if you seek further specific information.

There are colored links below the names of family members with further family lineage coming from them.
Oldest American Rotchford family members as per our lineage are as per St.
Mary's Cemetary, Alexandria, VA Bartholomew and Janapher Rotchford. The marriage
of Bartholomew Rotchford and Janepher Josephine Carne is listed in the Alexandria
and Arlington County, Virginia Minister Returns and Marriage Bonds, 1801-1852.
It also lists Janepher's guardian as her grandfather, Richard Libby. Her father,
William Carne, had died 3 years prior to her wedding. Female descendants for
generations afterwards were named after Janepher with various spellings (Jannepher,
Jennipher, etc)
We as of yet do not have any information on the geneology of Bartholomew Rotchford.
Go to the link for Janapher to find English (Carne, Libby) ancestors for at
least two generations.
