Nice to hear from you. Congratulations on your John Winslow discovery. That means you're a Mayflower Descendant due to his wife Mary Chilton. Kenelm Winslow is one of my many close calls on the Mayflower. My bibliography of winslow literature is:

Edward Winslow c. 1569-1634
I may, from time to time, complain that my writings have not caught traction and interested fellow genealogical researchers to collaborate. That is not the case with my friend Jesse Tarbet. Far smarter than I (Ph.D. in History) he is a fellow Winslow descendant and interested in the ancestry o...
Moses Cleveland was baptized at St. Stephen's Church. Isaac Cleveland was baptized at St. Mary at the Elms. Richard Cleveland was baptized at Saint Nicholas Church. Records are at all three churches.
Moses Cleveland 1621-1702 of Woburn, Massachusetts
The Cleveland line is ground zero for me and genealogy. I remember being a teenager and sitting in the New York Public Library on 42nd Street in the genealogy and history room and receiving the three volume Cleveland Genealogy. And in that genealogy was my great-great-grandmother. What magic t...
Did you ever join the DAR on Benjamin York or Abner Coffin?
Surname Saturday: York Family
York is an inconvenient name to google unless you use quotation marks. I have a long line of Yorks and there is no comprehensive York genealogy in print. I haven't yet delved into this family with the intensity of my work on the Yeatons, Pinkhams or Wallises. 1. Richard YORK, born say 1620, ...
Essex the town or Essex the county. What author? Thanks.
Ipswich Pequot Soldier List
As part of the great ongoing discussion about the arrival of the Burnham Brothers to Massachusetts, there is a list of Ipswich soldiers who received payment for service during the Pequot War and is dated 5 December 1643. The list can be seen here. I will concede I am no expert in the Native Am...
I would suggest consulting the 3 volume Cleveland Genealogy which I cite in my blog posting. It is extensive. I would watch out for the information you already have. No one had a name like Lord Elija Elisha Paulus Cleveland in the 18th century (or any century for that matter).

I am a Hollick (Holic) so there must be some relation between Anna and me. I've seen the name Padzamsky but not as a relation. I would guess all the Holics of Tura Luka are somehow related. Who were Anna's parents?
Tura Luka, Slovakia
I almost didn't get here. It took me three tries. In 1983 I came to what was then Czechoslovakia, but only saw Prague. I had no idea where my ancestral home town was at that time. In 2017 I had planned to visit Tura Luka as part of a five city tour of Central Europe. But in Vienna, a bicy...
Egypt was a blast. The traffic in Cairo is crazy, how did you deal with it for so long? I've always wanted to do a Cleveland family reunion, descendants of John and Amy (Martin) Cleveland. But sadly I don't know the first thing about organizing such an event.
The Hooker Siblings
There was a time when between the New England Historical & Genealogical Register and The American Genealogist, every other year or every third year there would be an article on my ancestors. That's not been happening lately. In fact, I think it's been close to six years since an article appear...
I consider her a former ancestor now. I never proved to my satisfaction the parentage of my fourth great grandmother Polly Dudley or Daniels Learned. So everything behind her is gone.
Sorry for the delay in replying I've just been in Egypt for several weeks. Traveling agrees with me more than genealogy does.

Thanks for the heads up.
John Gosse 1583-1644 of Watertown, Massachusetts
The only trick for this family is to know that pre-1988 sources called them Jose (such as Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines) and after that is was known that Jose also meant Gosse. 1. Thomas Gosse born say 1518 and died about May 1563 at Little Waldingfield, Suffolk, England. His wife's name in his w...
I hate to burst your bubble, but I had my DNA tested and I am 100% European. No Native American in me whatsoever. I had this done to see if some of these legends were true. I suggest you get your DNA tested at 23andme or Ancestry and they will give you a breakdown of you ethnicities by percentage.
Tombstone Tuesday: Priscilla (Bearse??) Hall 1644-1712
Another Capecodgravestone. She is the wife of John Hall (Jr.). Although hard to read in the photo, it says she died on March 30th, 1712 at age 68. That ballparks her birth at 1643/44. A Priscilla Bearse is often promoted to be this woman. However, there is no proof of that assertion. ...
Not to my knowledge. The NHSOG publishes the New Hampshire Genealogical Record so you can get back issues from them of the article in print. Otherwise, the NEHGS is slowly digitizing back issues of journals, but they haven't done the Record yet.
Richard Pinkham ca. 1613-after 1671 of Dover, New Hampshire
Our two most important ancestors are our parents. We are half of each and so I've always thought of myself as half-Pinkham. It's a rare thing in genealogy to bring a line down 400 years in a single surname. This is all to say I love this line. I've written about it extensively and researched...
That may be so, but at that time it was customary to name children the same given name so that at least one of them would survive. So, it is likely William had a son William by his first wife and another son William by his third wife. It is the elder son that was the heir.
Magna Carta
Today is the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta by King John of England. I happen to descend from all the signatories of that august document. There are 17 Magna Carta Barons who left progeny that are still alive today. Another seven Barons only had progeny to the fourth gen...
We're talking about two different families here.
John Wallis 1777-1858 of Sanbornton, N.H.
When trying to re-assemble the family of Nathaniel5 (Samuel4 William3-2 George1) Wallis, I noted that his entry in the 1790 census had two men over 16, 6 boys under 16 and three women. Generally, although not certainly, it meant that his household consisted of himself, his wife Deborah, seven s...
You are right that Magna Carta Ancestors shows William as the son of the first wife Aline de Multon. I haven't seen a correction by Douglas Richardson for this. It is repeated in “Whose Son was Peter de Braose?” by F.N. Craig, NEHGR 150 (1996):315-324. I'm not sure why I chose to make Mary de Ros his mother (except that I must have seen the FMG website). I'll confess that after a while you get lazy. I descend from Peter de Braose anyway, so I get Mary de Ros that way. And I get William, the 2nd Lord Braoase twice also, through daughters Joan and Aline. It makes more sense for William to be the son of the first marriage since he was the heir, and therefore the eldest. So, perhaps Rose Stoughton doesn't descend from those two other Magna Carta Sureties. Sorry.

I don't really know. I played around with my database for a bit and found no relationship with the other five of the other sureties (Henry de Bohun, Robert de Vere, Geoffrey de Say, Robert Fitz Walter, John Fitz Robert). She does descend from William D'Aubigny of Belvoir and Robert de Ros as follows:
Sir Robert de Ros m. Isabel d'Aubigny (see my earlier posts)
Mary de Ros m. Sir William de Braiose, Lord of Bramber and Gower
William de Braiose, 2nd Lord Braiose of Bramber m. Agnes (---)
Aline de Braiose m. Sir John de Mowbray, 2nd Lord Mowbray
This connects with the line of Sir William de Mowbray posting.
So that gets her 12 of the 17 barons. She's collaterally related to the other five, but not directly descended (to my knowledge) from them.

Not to my knowledge. I really don't know. I have many Oyster River ancestors and I don't believe we know any of their English origins. Some of my ancestors are second generation immigrants. John Davis is from Haverhille (James Davis) and Job Runnels is from Maine (William Reynolds). John Davis's English origins are known (but yet to be published--Acton Turville, Gloucestershire). His wife Cecily Thayer was from Thornbury, Gloucestershire. But again they went to Haverhill and their children went to Oyster River.
I'm sorry I don't have any clues to help you.
Eli Clark of Durham, N.H.
ELI CLARK, son of Abraham and Deliverance (Graves?) Clark was born about 1694, probably at Durham, N.H., and died at Lee between 1 September 1766 and 30 May 1771, the dates on which he was mentioned in his sister’s will and the date on which his own will was proved.[1] Eli married before 9 Janu...
No, Abraham Clark is lost to history. We have very little on him. I wrote an article on him and his wife and their descendants in the New Hampshire Genealogical Record. He probably died in an Indian Raid in 1694.

I am blissfully unaware of this matter. I have Threlfall's book on my shelf and the accompanying poster on my wall. I haven't read anything in the last twenty years about Thomas Bradbury except for Kirk's article. I doubt I would have missed something. Oh well.
Robert de Ros ca. 1170-1226
1. Robert de Ros m. Isabel of Scotland, daughter of William I "the Lion" of Scotland 2. Sir William de Ros m. Lucy Fitz Piers 3. Sir Robert de Ros m. Isabel D'Aubigny, granddaughter of William d'Aubigny, Magna Carta surety 4. William de Ros, 1st Lord Ros of Helmsley m. Maud de Vaux 5. William d...
BTW, the line would be:
1. Robert de Ros m. Isabel of Scotland
2. Sir William de Ros m. Lucy Fitz Piers
3. Sir William de Ros m. Eustache Fitz Ralph
4. Ivetta de Ros m. Sir Geoffrey le Scrope
5. Sir Stephen le Scrope m Isabel (---)
6. Joan le Scrope m. William Pert
7. Isabel Pert m. Robert Conyers
8. Joan Conyers m. Sir Philip Dymoke
9. Sir Thomas Dymoke m. Margaret de Welles
10. Joan Dymoke m. John Fulnetby
11. Katherine Fulnetby m. William Dynewell
12. Anne Dynewell m. Henry Whitgift
13. William Whitgift m. Margaret Bell
14. Elizabeth Whitfigt m. Wymond Bradbury
15. Thomas Bradbury
The key generations in doubt would be #11 and 12.

It depends on how you view the ancestry of Thomas Bradbury. If you want that which is definitely proven, then no. Thomas has a line to the Marmions which gets you to ancient French Kings. If you believe the article I edited by Marshall Kirk and there is a tie to Edward I, then perhaps. For this exercise, I'm just going on really proven lines, which is why I'm concentrating on Elizabeth (Mansfield) Wilson and Rose (Stoughton) Otis.

I'm sorry but the Pinkhams of Maine never interested me. I exclusively studied the Pinkhams of New Hampshire. When they went to Maine, I stopped looking at them. The Pinkham Genealogy of 1908 delves into the Pinkhams of Maine quite a lot which is another reason I never studied them. You might check there.

Yes, he wrote a whole article on the knightly family of Felbrigge and how the Bures family must be a cadet branch of the knightly family. However, there are no probates for the Felbrigges so we can only be certain from Thomas Felbrigge on. His paternity is questionable, either an Edward or a Robert. But he names sons both names. So, you have to assume that somehow the Philibricks descend from this knightly family.
Thomas Philbrick 1584-1667 of Hampton, New Hampshire
This is another triple descent family. 1. Thomas Felbrigge was born about 1545 and died after 1621 at Bures, Suffolk, England. He married about 1574 Elizabeth (---) who was buried 24 April 1619 at Bures. They were the parents of: 2. Thomas Philbrick was baptized 23 September 1584 at Bures St. ...
Well someday I hope to see all of Ireland, both the republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Someday. I have two pdfs of Lawrences charts from PRONI if you want them. Just send me your email and I'll pass them along to you.
Martha (Lawrence) Sinclair 1789-1877 of Hopewell, New Brunswick
This is a line I've devised on my own. I can always tell that I'm in entirely new territory when I google the names and only my site shows up. This is such a case. 1. Samuel Lawrence born 1696 at Gortigran, Dunboe, Ireland and died September 1769 at Coleraine, Derry, Ireland. He married about...
We are doubly related. I descend from Martha Lawrence and Finlay Sinclair. This is a case where two brothers married two sisters. Are you still in Ireland? I haven't visited yet, but plan to. I'm in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Thanks for writing.

Hello Dave. Just saw your latest article in TAG. Congratulations. So why haven't you found the English origins of John Elderkin yet?
What am I doing?
Four years ago I shut down this blog. I did so for personal reasons which I may someday explain in a separate posting. However, during the four years, I always monitored the blog. I could always see how many hits the blog got and from where the person was coming from. No surprise, the two m...
