Just ten years after the Pilgrims made their grim landing on the shores of what came to be called New England, my ancestors settled in America as well. My family has the blood of military men, lawyers and doctors running through our veins. We also are the descendants of strong farmers, day laborers and  peasants.

This family tree is not only to celebrate the diversity in our family but also  serves serve as a resource for anyone trying to puzzle out their own family's history. I am trying to make a comprehensive site that names not only direct  descendants and their families, but those indirect descendants as well.  Changes may happen as I try and update names, birthdates, and even untangle  the confusing web of similarly named siblings and children.

As such, please consider any information not yet cited with a reference to be unverified facts, even if said information is true. (For example, I know  I exist, but I may not have cited my birth certificate or census  information to prove that I am who I say I am. Therefore, on the tree, I would be  unverified information.) I will try and mark when members of the family tree have information that is in flux. Also, please let me know if you have facts that will correct or expand the tree. Feel free to start a discussion in my Guestbook and enjoy  browsing this family tree. I hope it helps you find your own beginnings.
