All along the way are the clues. where were his children born, for example? If you have a direct line from yourslef to this g-g-g-grandfather, then turn that info around and begin with him to do a time-line .... year/date first - name & event. Often you will see the clue jump out at you. 1764 --- NAME? arrives at Annapolis aborad convict ship from England and continue on down ..... you'll have some locations that should answer your question.
