Graham
Selby
Gray
Bromfield
Cranston
Kerr
Young
Douglas
Maxwell

I have Bromfield (Broomfield, Brumfield) and Gray. My Gray is actually Grau or Graw which is German, the name was changed during the ARW. They were in New Jersey and migrated South after the war. My wife's maiden is Jackson, but her family is actually Jakobsson from Sweden.

Thanks for the link, I will check other names.
