ANDRUS, ELLEN
Granddaughter of Maria Kilbourn and daughter of Ellen Maria Eastman, both below, Ellen (b. ca. 1872) was a Gen 10 descendant of William Bradford. See the writeup of Maria, Ellen Maria, and uncle George Eastman for more details on the family. Uncle George was the Eastman of Eastman Kodak fame, so there are plenty of family photos, including one with Maria, George, and a baby who is likely her oldest child, George Eastman Dryden. The image to the left was cropped from that photo, which would have been taken before Maria's death in 1907. Photos of items on display were taken by the webmaster at the George Eastman Museum, where signs state that photography of the contents is "encouraged." (The vertical white stripe is glare.)

BALL: HENRY, HENRY JR., ADIN BALLOU, & ADIN ELLWOOD
Rather than list these 4 men in alphabetical order, I have put them in birth order, from left to right: father Henry (c 1788-1877), son Henry (b 1834), son Adin Ballou (b 1836) and the latter's son Adin Ellwood Ball (b. 1870), all of Milford, MA. Grandson Adin Ellwood's photo appears on the same page as the others' but he was not assigned a parent or mentioned in the text. However, the author stated that Henry was unmarried and the NEHGS did have a birth record giving Adin's his father as "Adin." Henry Senior's mother is in the Bradford silver book, and the rest of the information is from the three-volume Cleveland family genealogy, which states that Henry Junior (who apparently did not use the "Junior") was a "subscriber," working on a Ball family genealogy, and had contributed the records. Presumably he would be accurate about his immediate family, but to join a lineage society you would have to "trust, but verify." They are Gens. 7, 8, and 9, and beginning with Henry Senior's mother, the line runs: Lydia (Cleveland) Ball, William Cleveland, Lucy (Fitch) Cleveland, Alice (Bradford) (Adams) Fitch, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower. Images and info from EJ & HJ Cleveland, The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, 1: 179-80 and 3: 2471-2 (Hartford: Case, Lockwood, & Brainard, 1899), digitized by the Boston Public Library.

BARSTOW, ZEDEKIAH SMITH
The Rev. Barstow's father, John Barstow, is in the Bradford Silver Book and vital records show Zedekiah to indeed be the "fifth son, sixth child" of John Barstow, Jr. and Susannah Smith of Canterbury, CT. However, he was transcribed as "Zedediah" so a word search won't necessarily find him. A Gen. 7 Bradford, Rev. Zedekiah Barstow was "called" to Keene, NH in 1818 and lived there until his death in 1874. He was a corresponding member of the NEHGS, which eulogized him in an NEHGR obituary that mentioned he was a Bradford descendant. Someone passed that tidbit along 30 years later to the author of the book from which this photo was taken. My experience is that old family stories of Mayflower lineage almost always prove to be true, so follow up on yours. Zedekiah's line runs as follows: John Barstow, Elizabeth (Newcomb) Barstow, Jerusha (Bradford) Barstow, Thomas Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Image from Simon Goodell Griffin, A History of the Town of Keene (Keene, NH: Sentinel Printing, 1904), p. 560, digitized by the University of New Hampshire Library.

BATTELL, ROBBINS
Robbins Battell of New York and Connecticut (1819-1895) was a banker and a philanthropist focused on music and education. He was a distant cousin of Ann "Nancy" Bradford and Mary DeWolf, below, and his mother was the younger sister of Thomas Robbins, also below. Thus his Gen. 7 Bradford line runs: Sarah (Robbins) Battell, Elizabeth (LeBaron) Robbins, Lydia (Bradford) (Cushman) LeBaron, David Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. He did leave one child, an Ellen Mills Battell (b. 1851.) Image and some info from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 16, 22, 31-32, 152-3, digitized by the New York Public Library.

BIERCE, AMBROSE GWINNETT
Yes, the famous Disappearing Author (b 1842, OH - vanished 1914, Chihuahua), noted in his wikipedia entry as being the son of a woman who was a Bradford descendant, Laura Sherwood of Ohio, which turned out to be true. But first the Bierces, a CT family: The paternal line quickly becomes "Pierce" in the Barbour records so Ambrose may not be a member of the Bearse family of MA, which was known to have married Mayflower descendants. The Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London, CT noted another, earlier instance of Bradfords marrying Sherwoods in CT and that plus the NEHGS vital records (plus findagrave to get a DOB for Laura Sherwood) revealed Ambrose's Gen. 8 Bradford line: Laura (Sherwood) Bierce, Joshua Bradford Sherwood, Hannah (Bradford) Sherwood, Joseph Bradford, Jr., Joseph Bradford, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower. Joseph married as his second wife a Mary Sherwood, and George Henry Bradford, below, is a distant half cousin via that marriage. Image downloaded from wikipedia, where the credit is given to the Clifton Waller Barrett Library of American Literature, Special Collections Dept., U of VA Library. The entry says that the Library allows free use of the photo in return for acknowledgement of the source (thank you, U of VA) but the link given does not work and searching the library site I don't find that photo, or any photo of Ambrose Bierce. Thus this one is lifted straight from wikipedia. Thank you, wikipedia.

Bradford, Ann "Nancy" Bowman
Said to be "from the miniature in possession of Mrs. Ann De Wolf Gibbs" in a De Wolf genealogy published in 1902, this painting showed Generation 6 Bradford descendant Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) De Wolf (1770-1838). Her birth to parents Mary Le Baron, a Generation 6 Warren descendant and William Bradford (also a Generation 5 Warren descendant and first governor of RI, USA) is mentioned in the Bradford Silver Book (p. 161). She is not to be confused with a Generation 4 Ann Bradford who married Peter Strickland and Edward Dewolfe. See her daughter's writeup below (Mary Ann/Marianne DeWolf) for the lineage. See wikipedia for Ann's husband/Mary's father, RI Sen. James DeWolf, privateer and slave trader. A better image of this painting of Ann would be very welcome. Image and info from Calbraith B. Perry, Charles D'Wolf of Guadaloupe, His Ancestors and Descendants (NY: T. A. Wright, 1902), p. 276. Digitized by Internet Archive.
Bradford, Cornelius Francis
This straight-line Generation 8 descent is William, William, Israel, Joshua, Cornelius, Cornelius, and Joseph M. Bradford. Israel's wife Sarah Bartlett was a Generation 5 Warren, Mullins, and Brewster, and Generation 4 Alden, so Cornelius F. was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins and Generation 10 Warren & Brewster as well. Israel & Sarah's son Joshua married Hannah Bradford (Elisha, Joseph, William), also Generation 4, so Cornelius F. (1845-1908) is actually twice a Generation 8 Bradford. He lived for four years "out West," (Zanesville, IL), from age 2-6, according to the book from which this photo comes so genealogical searches that find him out there are correct. The Bradford silver book takes the line as far as this subject's grandfather, the second Cornelius Bradford, born Friendship, ME, after 1784. Info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 3 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1306, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Bradford, Edward Standish
Massachusetts Treasurer Edward Bradford was a Generation 9 Bradford descendant via his father, Shadrach Standish Bradford, and Generation 9 Standish via his paternal grandmother, Mary (Standish) Bradford. Mary's connection was Shadrach Standish, Ebenezer, Zachariah, Ebenezer, Alexander, Myles and Rose Standish. Alexander Standish married Sarah Alden, daughter of John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, so he is also a Generation 9/10 Alden/Mullins descendant. The Standish Silver Book gets through "Shadrack" Standish, Generation 6 but the Bradford Silver Book leaves off with the younger Gideon Bradford, b. Plympton 1752, grandfather of Shadrach Bradford. Edward was also a Soule and Warren descendant via his father. Image and info from Charles Edwin Hurd, The New England Library of Genealogy and Personal History (Boston: New England Historical Publishing Co., 1902), pp. 296-300, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
BRADFORD, GEORGE HENRY
Ninth generation status is claimed by the compilers of the book from which this image was taken and it appears that they are correct. The Bradford Silver Book matches the first 6 generations, but the NEHGS, which had indigestion today (broken links on both log-in sites), was no help after that. Heritage Quest, courtesy your local library, came to the rescue. Per the book from which this image comes, George should have been 7 years old at the time of the 1870 census, thus still at home with his parents, both living. There he was: right age, right town, right parents, and they were living with his paternal grandparents, so three generations at once. That left the Generation 6 couple. While I could not rapidly prove online their marriage and birth of a specific child, I found them in the 1820 census in the correct little town, with the correct number of people (the book below named all the siblings and their deaths, so I knew who would be alive in 1820) plus they were living next to what appeared to be the wife's uncle, who had married the line-carrier's aunt. So, I will go out on a fairly short limb and state that this line does run (backwards from George) as: Samuel Denison Bradford, Samuel Sherwood Bradford, Samuel, Samuel, John, Joseph, William, William of the Mayflower. It is worth checking out some of the women's surnames for Pilgrim forebears as well, in particular: Denison, Hyde, and others too late in the family tree to be in a Silver Book with their owner.

BRADFORD, JOEL PACKARD
This photo of Dr. Joel Bradford (b. 1873) and those of father Philip and his father's cousin William (below) are from the same book. Joel was twice a Gen 9 Bradford. One line runs as follows: Philip A. Bradford, Seth, Oliver, John, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. The other veers through his Howland-Tilley and Warren lines as follows: Philip A. Bradford, Seth, Sarah (Chipman) Bradford, Seth Chipman, Priscilla (Bradford) Chipman, John, William, William. That makes Priscilla and Samuel Bradford of the first line first cousins. Through his mother he was also a Cooke descendant.

BRADFORD, ROYAL BIRD
Rear Admiral Bradford was a Generation 8 Bradford descendant and his grandfather, William Bradford b. 1778 in Turner, ME is in the Bradford Silver Book. Admiral Bradford had several other Mayflower lines, though, as his Generation 3 Bradford ancestor, Ephraim, married Elizabeth Brewster (Generation 4), daughter of Wrestling & Mary (---), granddaughter of Love Brewster . Generation 6 William Bradford married Asenath Mason, said to have been a Richard Warren descendant through her mother, Rebecca (Winslow) Mason. Proving that can go on the to-do list for now. Admiral Bradford's mother, Mary Brett, was the daughter of Royal Bird & Polly Reynolds. Also on the to-do list is proving the claim in this book that he is an Alden, Mullins, Brown, and Cooke via the Brett lines. Image and info from Little, Burrage, & Stubbs, Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, v 1 (New York: Lewis Historical Society, 1909), p. 482-5, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BRAINERD, GEORGE BRADFORD
A combination of searching on the NEHGS, various silver books, and the DAR's GRS (Genealogical Research System) reveals that George was probably approximately what the author of the Brainerd book says, but it was he and not his mother who was 8th in line from William Bradford. There seems to be uncertainty around the exact age of his maternal grandfather, Jeremiah Bradford, and hope expressed that missing land records will turn up to confirm the relationship. The DAR's birth info for both Jeremiah and his son Joel do not match what the GSMD says about them and the NEHGS has nothing and familysearch.org only an index with a year. So, if you apply to a lineage society on this line, be prepared to argue your case using hitherto unused documents that you have personally found in an archive. George's line runs: Rebecca (Bradford) Brainerd, Joel Bradford, Jeremiah, Gershom, Samuel, William, William of the Mayflower. George is also a double Alden-Mullins, and a Rogers descendant through his mother. See those write-ups for those lineages.

BRETT, ELLIS
Ellis was posted in the Alden-Mullins section a few years ago as a Gen 9/10 descendant. The publication of Part 4 of the Alden silver books, descendants of Ruth (Alden) Bass, revealed 2 more Alden-Mullins lines (1, through his mother Ruth Copeland, was expected) and bonus Bradford and Rogers lines. Good things come to those who wait! The Gen 9 Bradford line runs as follows: Ruth (Copeland) Brett, Ebenezer Copeland, Anna/Abbe (Godfrey) Copeland, Mary (Gilbert) Godfrey, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Samuel Bradford, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower.

BREWSTER, BURTON B., LYMAN S., AND WARREN GEORGE
Yes, these images look less than 100 years old; they are from 1939. I am using them to show the potential for mining other public domain sites, in this case the LOC's WPA (Works Progress Administration) photos made for the U.S. Farm Security Administration, curated by Yale's Photogrammar project. These 3 brothers were all born in the west but to a Bostonian whose parents, etc. were all from Duxbury, according to NEHGS vital records online. They are Brewsters, yes, but also have Bradford, Rogers, Samson, Alden-Mullins, and Warren genes. (See those sections for those lineages.) Warren G. (b ca 1898), Lyman S. (b 1900), and Burton B. (b ca 1903) were all born in Wyoming, based on their 1910 & 1940 census records. Their mother Grace (---) (b Dec 1876, CO) had parents from CT & VT; her line is also worth tracing. Their Gen 10 Bradford line runs: George Brewster, Nathan Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Samson, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Gamaliel Bradford, Samuel, William, Willam of the Mayflower. Images from Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, FSA/OWI Collection, [reproduction numbers LC-USF34-027466, LC-USF34-027464, LC-USF34-027589], in alpha order by brother. |

BRIDGMAN, HOWARD ALLEN
I stumbled across Howard while looking for a Mayflower link for his cousin, Wellesley College graduate Ruby Porter Bridgman. No luck there, but Ruby's uncle married a Bradford descendant. Since Ruby's father wrote the book from which this image was taken, he had sufficient and accurate personal info to make a link solid enough for you to find vital records to prove Bradford descent if you are in a direct line from Howard or his sister Hannah Cleveland Bridgman. Howard, b. 1860 in Northampton, was a distant cousin of Edward Everett Cleaveland & Franklin Abell Cleaveland, below. See their writeups for more details. Howard's Gen 9 line runs: Harriet (Phelps) Bridgman, Thankful (Cleveland) Phelps, Nehemiah Cleaveland, Nehemiah, Lucy (Fitch) Cleaveland/Cleveland, Alice (Bradford) (Adams) Fitch, William Bradford Jr., Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower. Image & info from H. G.

There may be more in Vol. II but I used Burt Nichols Bridgman & Joseph Clark Bridgman, Genealogy of the Bridgman Family, Descendants of James Bridgman 1636-1894 (Hyde Park, MA: Clark Bryan Printers, 1894), pp. 43-44, digitized by the Boston Public Library, which has this image of him in his early thirties.

BRIGGS, BETSY
A Gen 7 Bradford, she had numerous siblings and cousins, none of whose pictures were in the book with this photo, but should out there. Betsy's 3 children who lived to adulthood would have the surname "Ricker," though the daughter later married an Isaac Osgood. Two of the three were noted as having children by the time of publication. Betsy's mother's line is worth checking, as she was also a Briggs but a quick look did not turn up her parents. The birth of Betsy's father Hiram is in the Bradford silver book so this will not be a difficult line to document. Hiram's first wife was an Alden (giveaway hint: son named Alden Briggs.) Betsy and most of her siblings were products of the second marriage to the mysterious Semira/Senura Briggs. Check Betsy's Brewster writeup for that lineage. Her Bradford line runs: Hiram C. Briggs, Betty (Bradford) Briggs, Ezekiel Bradford, Ephraim, William, William of the Mayflower. Most info beyond Betsy's parents' names came from the NEHGS (with censuses and digitized GSMD silver book images) and findagrave. Image & scant info from Hollis Turner, The History of Peru in the County of Oxford and State of Maine from 1789 to 1911 (Augusta: ME Farmer Publishing, c 1911), pp. 224, 226, digitized by the LOC.

Betsy's 3 children who lived to adulthood would have the surname "Ricker," though the daughter later married an Isaac Osgood. Two of the three were noted as having children by the time of publication. Betsy's mother's line is worth checking, as she was also a Briggs but a quick look did not turn up her parents. The birth of Betsy's father Hiram is in the Bradford silver book so this will not be a difficult line to document. Hiram's first wife was an Alden (giveaway hint: son named Alden Briggs.) Betsy and most of her siblings were products of the second marriage to the mysterious Semira/Senura Briggs. Check Betsy's Brewster writeup for that lineage. Her Bradford line runs: Hiram C. Briggs, Betty (Bradford) Briggs, Ezekiel Bradford, Ephraim, William, William of the Mayflower. Most info beyond Betsy's parents' names came from the NEHGS (with censuses and digitized GSMD silver book images) and findagrave. Image & scant info from Hollis Turner, The History of Peru in the County of Oxford and State of Maine from 1789 to 1911 (Augusta: ME Farmer Publishing, c 1911), pp. 224, 226, digitized by the LOC.

CHURCH, BRADFORD LEBARON
He went by LeBaron, but yes, he was a Bradford, also a triple Warren, and through his mother an Eaton, Billington, and Samuel Fuller descendant, possibly a Soule. Maybe he was exceptionally competent or maybe he just peaked early, but LeBaron (b 1899) captained the first unbeaten football team at Taunton High School, won the top rank in the cadet corps (major) competitively (photo on right), and was elected class president before heading for Amherst College. In other words, there might be more pictures of him as an adult if he continued as an achiever. LeBaron's Gen 10 Bradford line runs through his father, though, as follows: Henry H. Church, William Bradford Church, Eleanor (Bradford) Church, John Bradford, William, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. John Bradford the 2nd was a brother of Ann "Nancy" Bowman Bradford, above, thus Eleanor (Bradford) Church, our subject's great grandmother, was a first cousin of Mary Ann/Marianne DeWolf, below. See the other pilgrim sections for those lineages. Image & info from The Journal (Taunton High School, 1917, pp. 12, 55, 58, 59, digitized on the Internet Archive. |

CHURCHILL, AMOS
Son of Isaac, grandson of Winslow, and nephew of Lurana and Christiana (all below), Amos Churchill was twice a Generation 8 Bradford descendant. See Winslow's writeup for details and see the family's write-ups in the relevant sections for details of their Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and Warren lineage. More details about his life and his genealogy will be available at the National Archives in his Civil War service and pension records, as he served in Co. D of the 8th IL Cavalry, according to the book from which this photo was taken. A sharper image of this photo might also reveal if his lapel pin marks his tenure as Commander of Post 513 of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' association as powerful in its day as the VFW and American Legion were/are a century later. This image and his info is from Churchill, et al., The Churchill Family in America (Boston: G. A. Churchill Family, n.d. (by 1893 & bef. 1914), pp. 277-79, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CHURCHILL, BATHSHEBA
In the book, Bathsheba's picture is side-by-side with that of husband Thomas Long but he was the son of a Miles Long from NC who emigrated to Plymouth, MA and married there in 1770. Bathsheba (1776-1853) is the pilgrim descendant, on her father's side, from William Bradford, William & Mary Brewster, and Richard Warren. Because her parents died when she was very young (as did her father's father) the paper trail isn't perfect but the book with this photo agrees with the somewhat problematic (in my line) Churchill family genealogy and the vital records online at the NEHGS. Her Gen 7 Bradford line runs: Zadock Churchill, Hannah (Barnes) Churchill, Sarah (Bradford) Barnes, William Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Bathsheba and Thomas married in Middleborough, MA and had sons Thomas Jr. and Zadock/Zadoc before moving to Buckfield, ME. Two of their Long descendants are seen below. Image and info from Alfred Cole & Charles H. Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp. 235, 618, digitized by the New York Public Library. The authors claim Chilton descent but I have not spotted that yet. An image of Bathsheba without the tight-fitting headgear or scanned from a hard copy would be appreciated.

CHURCHILL, ISAAC BRADFORD
Isaac (b. 1818 in Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY) was twice a Generation 7 Bradford descendant. He is the father of Amos (above), younger brother of Lurana and Christiana, and son of Winslow Bradford, all below. Like the twins, his mother was Mercy Dodge of Vermont and he ended his days presumably in Illinois. For his Bradford lines, see Winslow Churchill, below. For his Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and Warren lineage, see his writeup in those sections. The hand on his shoulder is that of his wife, Angelina Barker, standing alongside. If I find any Mayflower genes in her I will post her image in the appropriate place. Isaac's image and info is from Churchill, et al., The Churchill Family in America (Boston: G. A. Churchill Family, n.d. (by 1893 & bef. 1914), pp. 155, 276, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CHURCHILL, LURANA AND CHRISTIANA
Generation 7 Bradford fraternal twins Lurana (Churchill) Akerman and Christiana (Churchill) (Ketchum) Christian were daughters of Winslow Churchill (below), sisters of Isaac Bradford Churchill and aunts of Amos Churchill (both above.) Thus they were also Bradford descendants twice. (See Winslow Churchill's writeup.) Their mother was Mercy Dodge, daughter of William and Mercy, of Rutland, Vt and they presumably died in Illinois. Normally I would have shown each person separately but splitting the photo would not have allowed me to show the detail of their outfits. The twins were born in Chittenden, NY in 1802, 28 years after the birth of the first American-born canonized saint, Elizabeth Ann (Bayley) Seton (1774-1821,) another New Yorker. St. Elizabeth Seton is depicted in very similar garb and the order of nuns she founded, the Sisters of Charity, wore outfits much like those the sisters wear here, well into the 1960s. See the Seton painting at the MD State Archives. For their Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and Warren lineages, see their write-ups in those sections. Image and info from w connection beyond homage to the Mayflower pilgrims, let me know. This image and the info came from Churchill, et al., The Churchill Family in America (Boston: G. A.

CHURCHILL, WINSLOW
Try to ignore the haircut. This is obviously not a photograph but IS an image based on real life and depicts an actual Gen 6 Mayflower descendant, listed in the Bradford Silver book (p. 492.) Deacon Winslow Churchill (1770-1847) was actually a Gen 6 twice, as his maternal grandparents were Joshua Bradford and Hannah (Bradford) Bradford. He is also an Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and Warren descendant because Joshua's father Israel Bradford married Sarah Bartlett. (See relevant sections for descriptions of those lines.)
Winslow is the father of Isaac Bradford Churchill, twins Lurana and Christiana, and grandfather of Isaac B.'s son Amos Churchill, all 4 above. The book from which this image was taken tells of his very interesting life: a War of 1812 veteran and captain of an Erie Canal boat who resettled his family in the wilderness of Illinois in 1834. Not that Friendship, Maine had been tame, as grandparents Joshua & Hannah, and an infant uncle Winslow were killed by Indians there in 1758, when this Winslow's mother, Melatiah Bradford, was 14. She, her twin Mary, and 10-year-old sister Hannah were sent to live with Bradford relatives in Plympton, where she later met and married Isaac Churchill. They had at least 5 children, including Winslow, there, then moved to VT. Winslow's Bradford lines run as follows: Melatiah (Bradford) Churchill, Joshua Bradford, Israel, William, William. Secondly, Melatiah (Bradford) Churchill, Hannah (Bradford) Bradford, Elisha, Joseph, William.
If there is a story behind the "Winslow" I have not learned it, but if you know of any Winslow connection beyond homage to the Mayflower pilgrims, let me know. This image and the info about Winslow's life came from Churchill, et al., The Churchill Family in America (Boston: G. A. Churchill Family, n.d.

CHURCHILL, MARIAH
Yes, this is out of alpha order but I wanted the above 5 people, who "go together" to not be interrupted by an upstart cousin. Mariah (Churchill) Shaw (her husband was Southworth Shaw) was a Generation 7 Bradford and Brewster and a Generation 8 Warren.
Her Bradford line runs as follows, beginning with her father: Stephen Churchill, grandfather Stephen & Hannah (Barnes) Churchill, Sarah (Bradford) Barnes, William, William, William Bradford. The wife of William Bradford 3rd was Rebecca Bartlett, a Generation 4 Brewster via her mother Sarah (Brewster) Bartlett, daughter of Love Brewster, son of pilgrims William & Mary. Rebecca's father Benjamin was the Warren line carrier. His mother was Mary (Warren) Bartlett, daughter of pilgrim Richard Warren. Thus Rebecca was a Generation 4 Warren.
The Bradford Silver Book will get you the farthest, to the birth of Mariah's father Stephen Churchill in 1743, in Plymouth. He served in the Revolutionary War and if he or his wife Lucy Burbank lived until 1818 there might be a pension record on file at fold3.com. Since they were still in Pilgrim Territory (Mariah was born in Plymouth in 1778) the NEHGS should have data on the continuation of this line (as Shaw).

CLAPP, CLIFT ROGERS
Clift (b. Scituate, MA 1861) was a Gen. 9 Bradford & Doty via his maternal great grandmother, Abigail Rogers, as well as a quadruple Warren and an Alden-Mullins. His people were in the Marshfield area for centuries so are not hard to trace on the NEHGS. The Doty silver book Part 1, 2d edition, takes this line the furthest, to the 2nd Abigail's birth and marriage to Luther Rogers. All the books mention the other lines. The Bradford line runs as follows: Frances Abigail/Abigail Frances (Rogers) Clapp, Luther Rogers, Jr., Abigail Little (Tilden) Rogers, Abigail (Little) Tilden, Sarah (Baker) Little, Kenelm Baker, Sarah (Bradford) Baker, William Bradford of the Mayflower. Image and a little info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated) (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), p. 63, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

CLEAVELAND, EDWARD EVERETT
Edward was born in western MA in 1837 but as an adult moved to Florida, where he married, raised children, owned a business, and finally died. The author of the book with this photo made zero mention of what he did about the Civil War. Descendants might find that interesting research. If you are one, you will have to prove a solid link from Edward all the way back to Amasa Cleveland/Cleaveland, grandson of Henry Cleaveland/Cleveland and Lucy Fitch, who was the Bradford descendant. Fortunately they lived in the Williamsburg, MA area, so there should be good records on the NEHGS. Edward's Gen 8 line runs: Waldo Cleaveland, Amasa, Nehemiah Cleaveland, Lucy (Fitch) Cleaveland/Cleveland, Alice (Bradford) (Adams) Fitch, William Bradford Jr., Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower. That makes him a distant cousin of Franklin, below, and Howard Allen Bridgman, above. Note: He was probably named for the famous MA orator, Edward Everett, not for a relative. Image & info from H. G. Cleveland's The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, Vols. I and II (Hartford: Case, Lockwood, & Brainard, 1899), pp. 84, 180, 395, 915, 1667, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CLEAVELAND, FRANKLIN ABEL
Frank, as he was known, was born in NY state in 1834. He married there but quickly moved to Illinois because all his children were reportedly born there. Look for his Civil War service record - said to be as a captain with Co. B of the 8th Iowa Volunteers - and his pension and service record at the National Archives (aka NARA) to fill in the gaps in any missing vital records if you are joining a lineage society. He was also probably a member of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) later because he was said to have held a number of civic appointments and ran an insurance & real estate business. Success in those fields depends on meeting lots of people. According to the author of the book with this photo he served the Union cause at the Battle of Shiloh, where he was taken prisoner and held "for a time." Normally the pension record is the one you need to join the Mayflower Society, DAR, or SAR, but the service record, showing his honorable discharge, is what you need to join the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW.) Frank's General 8 line runs: Merrell Cleaveland, Jedediah, William, Lucy (Fitch) Cleaveland/Cleveland, Alice (Bradford) (Adams) Fitch, William Bradford Jr., Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower. That makes him a distant cousin of Edward E. Cleaveland and Howard Allen Bridgman, both above. Image & info from H. G. Cleveland's The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, Vols.

CLEAVELAND, JAMES BRADFORD
The Rev. Cleaveland was married to Elizabeth Hannah Jocelyn, said by the author of the book from which this image was taken to also be a Mayflower desdendant and an author/poet, but not being a Cleveland/Cleaveland she apparently did not merit a photo. James's grandfather, Perez Cleveland is in the Bradford silver book but you will need to prove his marriage and the next generation to get to Rev. James (1821-1889) of CT. He supposedly lived part of the time in MA so you will have to search for Perez, John, and James B. to find any vital records. James's Gen. 8 line should run as follows: John Cleaveland/Cleveland, Perez, Ann (Bradford) Cleveland, James Bradford, Thomas, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower.

CLEVELAND, FREDERICK
Son of Newcomb Cleveland and brother of George Cleveland, both below, Frederick (b VT 1838 - d NY 1897) would be a Gen. 8 Bradford. He is an uncle of William C. Roberson, below, and related to the Newcombs on this page as well. Frederick left children who survived to adulthood. If you are a descendant, you will need to link him to his grandfather, also a Frederick, whose Tolland, CT birth in 1770 was noted in the GSMD's Bradford silver book. Like his father, he traveled during the middle part of his adult years, according to the author of this book, so look for records from roughly 1855 to 1862 in KS, IA, LA, IL, and "the Southwest" (AZ & NM were then territories, for example).

CLEVELAND, GEORGE
Brother of Frederick Cleveland, above, and son of Newcomb Cleveland, below, George (b. NY, 1839) would also be a Gen. 8 Bradford. (See Frederick's writeup for the lineage and credits, and Newcomb & nephew WC Roberson's writeups for other useful information.) He moved to Milwaukee, WI in 1853, according to the author of the book with his picture, but at some point, possibly 1857 when his father moved there, went to Waukegan, IL, where he married, had children, and was apparently still living as of the publication date. George appears in Volume II, pp.1397-8.

Grandfather of William Cleveland Roberson, below, father of George and Frederick Cleveland, above, and a "cousin," to all the Newcombs below, Newcomb Cleveland (c 1757-1825) was a Gen 7 Bradford born in upstate NY. He lived in VT, MA, NY, Sacramento, CA (1849-52, with his family remaining in NY), WI (1853-57), IL (1857-62), NY City (1862-64), then back upstream where he died much later. So if the records seem confusing, it might still be him. Also, be forewarned that there are A LOT of "Newcombs" in the Cleveland family. For more info, including the lineage and complicated credits, see WC Roberson's writeup, below.

COLE, HARRISON GRAY
Father of Theron M. Cole, below, Dr. Cole was a Gen. 8 Bradford as follows: Jane (Bradford) Cole, Calvin Bradford, Gideon, Samuel, John, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. A Carver, MA physician, Harrison (1840-1910) is documented in the town vital records and the Bradford silver book picks up the trail with the birth of his grandfather. See Theron's write-ups for more details. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 256, digitized by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Cole, Theron M.
Paternal grandmother Jane (Bradford) Cole gave Theron (b. 1843 Carver, MA) his Generation 9 Bradford ancestry. Born 1779 to Dr. Calvin & Lydia (Pratt) Bradford of Plympton, she died in 1825, leaving a young son, Harrison Gray Cole (above) and husband Lt. Col. Hezekiah Cole. He married as his second wife another Bradford descendent. Theron's Gene 3 Bradford ancestor, John (William, William) married Mercy Warren (Joseph, Richard), making Theron a Gen 9 Warren. The birth of Calvin Bradford as Gen 6 is noted in both the Bradford & Warren Silver Books. Theron's mother was Lucy Chase, daughter of Levi Chase & Lucy Pratt. That Lucy was daughter of Ephraim Pratt & Keziah Wood of Plympton. Further research in Theron's maternal line might turn up another pilgrim there.

CURTIS, WALTER MOLBRAY
Assuming it was he who provided the biographical info to the author of the book with this image, Walter (b. S. Abington, MA 1879) knew that he was a Bradford descendant and thought he as a White, but missed Henry Samson, John Alden, William & Priscilla Mullins, Myles Standish, Richard Warren, and George Soule. See his Soule writeup for a bit more information and the other pilgrim writeups for those lineages. Here is Walter's Gen 10 Bradford line: Ella A. (White) Curtis, Polly Bradford (Sherman) White, Sabra Soule (Bradford) Sherman, William Bradford, John, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. Image & some info from Andrew Van Vranken Raymond, Union University, Its History, Influence, Characteristics, and Equipment, Vol. II (NY: Lewis, 1907), p. 13, digitized by the NY Public Library.

CUSHMAN, CHARLOTTE SAUNDERS
Charlotte Saunders Cushman of Boston, an American actress, was a Generation 7 descendant of William Bradford and Gen. 8 from Isaac Allerton. She was born in Boston in 1816 and died there in 1876; daughter of Elkanah and (2) Mary Elizabeth (Babbitt) Cushman. (One source said she looked like her mother.) See her Allerton writeup for more details about her lineage and links to other photos. Charlotte's Bradford line runs: Elkanah Cushman, Elkanah, Lydia (Bradford) Cushman, David Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower.

DAVIS, JOHN
Plymouth-born John Davis (1761-1847) was a delegate to MA's constitutional convention, among many other accomplishments in law and government service. He is here, however, as an accident of birth, as a Gen 7 descendant of William Bradford of the Mayflower. The birth of his mother is in the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD)'s Bradford silver book, p. 173, though her marriage to Capt. Thomas Davis is not made explicit. There were at least two Thomas Davises who married a wife named Mercy and one was a Thomas III, but one of the Mercys was too old to have had 8 children. Also, several Davises with the appellation "Esq." were involved in the estate division of Mercy Hedge, a term usually used for lawyers, and several of the people in the silver book writeup were ship's captains, as was John Davis's father, Thomas. At that time, a ship's captain (vs. a "master mariner") could be more the proprietor of a floating retail or wholesale merchant firm, not so much a sailor on the high seas. He might be land-poor, unless his wife inherited real estate or he lived long enough to retire and buy some, but probate records often show above-average amount of cash and interesting, sometimes imported personal items in their estate inventory. In other words, someone of that ilk could send a son to Harvard. John's line runs: Mercy (Hedge) Davis, Mercy (Barnes) (Cole) Hedge, Alice (Bradford) Barnes, William Bradford, William, William the immigrant. John is also a Brewster & Warren descendant, a distant cousin of Daniel and William Herbert Perry Faunce. Those pages detail John's specific line.

DEAN, MYRA HASTINGS
If you spot someone born in the Midwest but with a surname common in areas with lots of Pilgrim families, don't hesitate to check because there is a chance they were born there but returned to the scene of the crime. Such is the case with Taunton High School class of 1904 treasurer Myra H. Dean (b. 1885 Berkley, MA). Her father had no apparent Mayflower ancestors but his 3rd wife, Myra's mother, from West Mansfield, OH, had at least five because her parents were from Plymouth County. See the Alden-Mullins, Warren, & Brewster sections for more lines. Myra's Gen 11 Bradford line runs: Bessy (Hathaway) Dean, Almira (Loring) Hathaway, Levi Loring, Joshua, Zilpha/Zilpah (Bradford) Loring, Robert Bradford, John, John, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower.Image from Taunton High School Record (Taunton: 1904), p. 9, digitized by Internet Archive.

DE WOLF, JULIANA
Niece of Mary Ann/Marianne De Wolf Perry, below, and granddaughter of Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, above, Juliana was also a fairly close relative of Theodora De Wolf, below. Juliana (1816-1891 was a New Yorker at some point in her life and her married name was Cutter, as wife of John Livingston Cutter (1812-1887). Her Bradford line runs: James De Wolf, Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, William Bradford, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. She would also be a double Warren descendant, so see the Warren section for more information. Image and info from Calbraith B.

DE WOLF, MARY ANN/MARIANNE
Daughter of Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, above, Mary Ann/Marianne was a Gen. 7 Bradford as follows: Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, William Bradford, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. She and her mother were also double Warren descendants. See Mary Ann's Warren writeup for that lineage. I do not know why she is wearing a tiara in this image but I think it was just the fashion of the day in her socioeconomic group. Mary Ann was born in RI in 1795, married Henry Jones Perry (Raymond Henry Jones Perry in the De Wolf book) in 1814, and died in 1834, so she was no older than 39 in this image. (A better quality scan would be appreciated.) The book from which this image was taken mistakenly says that her brother James DeWolf was US Senator from Rhode Island 1821-25 but it was her father, whose exploits in slave trading make for appalling reading on wikipedia. That writeup says that a 2008 documentary on the slave trade - by a DeWolf descendant - featured that family prominently, so you might watch it for additional images.

DE WOLF, THEODORA GOUJAUD
First cousin once removed of Mary Ann/Marianne (as it is spelled in the D'Wolf book), above, Theodora (1820-1901) was a Gen. 8 Bradford and a double Warren descendant. There are many "Theodoras" in the D'Wolf/DeWolf family, named for a baroness to whom the author of the book from which this image was taken attributes a relationship. This Theodora outdid her cousin's tiara (above) when her granddaughter became the Baroness Kestelek by marrying Baron Louis Kestelek of Hungary. If you are of Hungarian descent you may find a Mayflower ancestor here, and more photos of Bradford descendants might be found on books of minor Hungarian royalty of the late 19th-early 20th century. The book has much detail about RI architecture and material cultures and there is discussion by the author of the early slave trading that brought the family is wealth and position, and the moral conflict that created for many. This image was cropped from what appears to be a photograph circa 1880. It seems to reflect both a privileged social position and a person not devoted to a lavish lifestyle. A better image that I can enlarge would be appreciated.

DUNLAP, SAMUEL FALES
Son of Lucy Fales and grandson of Samuel Fales, nephew of Haliburton #1 and cousin of Haliburton #2, all below, Samuel was a Gen. 9 Bradford & Warren, a Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers, and a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins via Samuel Fales. Two of his 3 Gen. 9 Warren lines were via paternal grandmother Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for their Bradford lineage and for more detail overall see the family's write-ups in the Alden-Mullins section. His Chilton, Rogers, and Warren lineages are listed in those sections. He is a more distant relative of Stephen Smith Fales, below.

DURANT, HENRY FOWLE (SMITH) SEE FOWLE, PAULINE, below
EASTMAN, ELLEN MARIA
Born around 1846 in central New York, per the 1850 federal census, Gen 9 Bradford descendant Ellen Eastman was the oldest child of Maria Kilbourn (below) and George Washington Eastman, some 6 years his wife's senior. Ellen was the only Eastman child who had children and her marriage to George Andrus produced one child who survived: Ellen (Andrus) Dryden, above. There is a large chart on display at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY, which shows Maria's descendants for 6 generations. Surnames include Blessman, Heffernan, Ponte, Jordan, Moller, and Dryden. The chart notes that George (below) was very interested in genealogy and hired a professional to research his own line, and those records are available at the museum. This is the only image of Ellen Maria (Eastman) Andrus but it appears on several displays at the museum. My guesstimate is that it dates to the 1880s and that she died shortly after the 1880 census. This was cropped from one of them and is courtesy of the George Eastman Museum, where posted signs welcome visitors to photograph anything they like.

EASTMAN, GEORGE
Son of Maria Kilbourn, below, photography pioneer George Eastman (1854-1932) was a Gen 9 Bradford descendant, as was his sister Ellen (Eastman) Andrus, above. See Maria's writeup for their line. The picture on the left is cropped from a large photo of him labeled as being from the 1880s, so about 35, around the time he patented the first camera to use roll film. The head shot on the right was cropped from a group photo with his mother, niece, and her child, likely shortly before her death in 1907, so he was in his early 50s. George went on to specialize in film and accrued mind-boggling wealth of which he spent a large portion on philanthropic causes. His images are cropped from photos taken by the webmaster at the George Eastman Museum of images on display. Signs state that photography of the contents is "encouraged." Thank you, George and the George Eastman Museum. |

FALES, DECOURSEY
Author of the book from which all these Fales images were taken, DeCoursey (Gen. 10 Bradford & Warren, Gen. 11 Chilton & Rogers, and Gens. 10/11 Alden-Mullins) was born in NY City in 1888.

FALES, HALIBURTON
Brother of Lucy and Samuel Bradford Fales, son of Samuel Fales (all below) and son of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, Haliburton (1815-1869) was a Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren, Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins. He had 3 Warren lines; 2 via his mother. He was the father and grandfather of Haliburton Fales # 2 and #3, below, and grandfather of DeCoursey above. See Lucy's writeup and the family's Alden-Mullins listings, and the Chilton, Rogers, and Warren sections for more details. Image is a photograph of a painting by G. P. A.

FALES, HALIBURTON, Jr. (#2)
Son of Haliburton Fales, above, nephew of Lucy, and grandson of Samuel (both below), Haliburton Jr. was b. Boston 1849, moved to NY with his parents in 1854, and was apparently still living when this book was printed. This image, a photograph from a 1910 painting by Herman G. Herkomer as reprinted in the hardcover book, was made when he was about 60. (Younger images would be welcome.) I think he did not go by "Jr." in his lifetime because his father died when he was 20 and his son, Haliburton #3, below, signed his name as "Jr." See the writeup for his aunt, Lucy Fales (below) and the appropriate sections for his Gen. 9 Bradford & Warren, Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers, and Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins lineages. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 151, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

FALES, HALIBURTON #3 (III or Jr.)
Son of Haliburton, Jr. (#2) and grandson of Haliburton, he would be a Gen. 10 Bradford & Warren, Gen 11 Chilton & Rogers plus a 10/11 Alden-Mullins. Haliburton #3 (b 1885, presumably in NY City) was the older brother of the author of the book from which this image came. He had 3 children: Samuel, Elizabeth, and Ellen. This portrait is apparently a photograph, as it is credited as being by Underwood & Underwood, an early stereograph, news photography, and aerial photography firm. That may be why it is not sepia, as the reprinted paintings were. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger. His & DeCoursey's Bradford line would run: Haliburton Fales #2, Haliburton #1, Samuel, Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Samuel, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. See his other write-ups as well.

Haliburton #3 (b 1885, presumably in NY City) was the older brother of the author of the book from which this image came. He had 3 children: Samuel, Elizabeth, and Ellen. This portrait is apparently a photograph, as it is credited as being by Underwood & Underwood, an early stereograph, news photography, and aerial photography firm. That may be why it is not sepia, as the reprinted paintings were. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger. His & DeCoursey's Bradford line would run: Haliburton Fales #2, Haliburton #1, Samuel, Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Samuel, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. See his other write-ups as well. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 151-2, digitized by the Allen County Public Library and the image photographed for this website from the original book by a patron of the Library of Congress in Washington.

FALES, LUCY ANN CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA
For more on this family, see their write-ups, particularly Lucy's in the Alden-Mullins and Warren sections (2 lines under "Abigail Haliburton.") Lucy, who was the daughter of Samuel Fales, sister of Samuel Bradford Fales and Haliburton Fales, mother of Samuel Fales Dunlap (all on this page), and daughter of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, was a Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren, Gen. 9 Chilton and Rogers, Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via her father's family. Her Bradford line runs as follows: Samuel Fales, Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Samuel, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. (For Lucy's other lines see those writeups.) Thank you to reader Sarah M. for photographing these images from the original book at the LOC. Visually it is an almost-amazing volume, with lots of full-length oil portraits of these people in opulent garb, but the author did not reprint them in color and chose a sepia tone. Photos of the original paintings, if the sender has copyright, would be welcome here. Image and most of the info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 123, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The complete Bradford line is laid out as a chart on pages 227-8 and vital records showed it to be correct.

FALES, SAMUEL
Father of Lucy and Haliburton, above, and of Samuel Bradford Fales, below; grandfather of Samuel Fales Dunlap and Haliburton Fales 2d, both above; and great-grandfather of Haliburton 3d and DeCoursey, also above; Samuel was a Gen. 7 Bradford & Warren, a Gen. 8 Chilton & Rogers descendant, and a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins. See Lucy's writeup for the Bradford lineage. Samuel was born in Bristol, RI in 1775 but the family later settled in Boston, where he married Abigail Haliburton, a Warren descendant pictured in that section, in 1801. He died there in 1848. This image is a photograph of a print image in this book of a painting by Gilbert Stuart, made in 1806, when he would have been 31 and already prosperous. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), frontispiece and pp. 104-06, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

FALES, SAMUEL BRADFORD
Son of Samuel, brother of Lucy, & uncle of Samuel Fales Dunlap, above, Samuel was a Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren, Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via his father and Gen. 8 Warren twice more via his mother, Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for the lineage and see the Alden-Mullins section on more detail on where the papers of this family can be found.

The picture was photographed from the original book at the LOC by a helpful reader, to provide a sharper image. If you find a public-domain picture of Samuel as a younger man, I would be glad to post it here. You may notice I cropped his beard a bit from his other write-ups here as it was taking up an unfair share of the page.

FAUNCE, DANIEL [WORCESTER]
Father of Willam, below, Daniel (1829-1911) was a Class of 1850 graduate of Amherst College. Their Archives & Special Collections department owns this image and allows access to the public in return for a credit line (Thank you, Amherst.) You can read more about the Class of 1850 daguerreotype collection, of which this image is part, on their blog, "The Consecrated Eminence," a long-ago nickname for the college. The March 23, 2018 blogpost has links to previous mention of the collection. For Daniel's Gen 9 Bradford line, see his son William's writeup, below. Check William's Warren and Brewster writeups for those lines. (William's Alden-Mullins link was through his mother.) For comparison, there is an image of William at about the same age as Daniel and sans mustache, though a side view, on findagrave.

FAUNCE, WILLIAM
I finally found an image of a distant Faunce "cousin" to upload. William (1859-1930) looks to be a Warren at least 11 times over plus a Bradford, Alden-Mullins & Brewster. His Gen 10 Bradford line runs: Daniel Worcester Faunce, Olive (Finney/Phinney) Faunce, Daniel Finney/Phinney, Alice (Barnes) Finney/Phinney, Lemuel Barnes, Alice (Bradford) Barnes, William Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. There should be more biographical material available on William, as he was president of Brown University at one point and possibly there are some Plymouth County probate records on this line. Image (only) from wikipedia, which acknowledged the source to be "A Group of American College Presidents," in Appleton's Magazine, Vol. III, Jan-June 1904, p. 800, digitized and uploaded to Internet Archive by the University of Toronto. There is a picture of him at a much younger age on findagrave.

FOWLE, PAULINE ADELINE AND HENRY FOWLE (SMITH) DURANT
These are first cousins and Henry's birth name was Smith but for some reason he assumed his mother's maiden name, Fowle. Their picture is in the front section of a the 1894 Wellesley College yearbook, as founders of the college, and tells all about the Fowle family but makes no mention of Mr. Smith nor of the fact that both are Bradford descendants. My guess is that the writer (in spite of being from Falmouth, MA) did not know and Henry (1822-1881) & Pauline (1832-1917) left no surviving children whom the author could ask. Perhaps they themselves did not know. However, both are Gen 8 Bradfords, as follows, beginning with Henry and his mother: Harriet (Fowle) Smith, Mary (Cook) Fowle, Phinehas Cook, Leah (Ripley) Cook, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, Gov. William of the Mayflower. Pauline's line runs the same, but begins with her father: John Fowle (Jr.), Mary (Cook) Fowle, etc. There is a lot of gushy, flowery, and very confusing detail about their family and a few generations of ancestors on both sides of the family, but you would never know they had any Mayflower link at all. (The author was Katharine Lee Bates, best known for writing the lyrics to America the Beautiful.) Although their children died in childhood, both had siblings and other cousins, so any Fowle ancestor from northern MA in the late 1700s is worth a look. Images and a little info from The Legenda (Wellesley, MA: Wellesley College, 1894), pp. 10-25, digitized by the University of Toronto. (Both have better photos on findagrave.com.)

GIBSON, CHARLES DANA
Already a well-known illustrator when the book from which this image was taken was published (i.e., by 1904, age 37) from his creation of the fictional Gibson Girl, Charles Dana Gibson was a Gen. 9 descendant of William Bradford. He was also a double Warren descendant (see that writeup.) Gibson's was an almost entirely maternal line through Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf (above), as follows: Josephine Elizabeth (Lovett) Gibson, Josephine Maria (DeWolf) Lovett, Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, William Bradford, Samuel, John, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. His father was Charles DeWolf Gibson, so his line is worth checking as well. Image from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 55, 134, 282, 429, digitized by the New York Public Library.

GOODWIN, MARY JANE
She and her brother John Abbott Goodwin both wrote about the first LeBaron immigrant, apparently with different explanations for his arrival. Mary Jane (1831-1894) wrote under her married name, Austin, if you want to look them up. She and her brother were Gen. 7 Bradford, Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and Alden-Mullins, Gen. 8 Standish, Hopkins, and Warren descendants; Mayflower descendants through both parents, who were distant LeBaron cousins. Mary Jane's Bradford line runs as follows: Elizabeth (Hammatt) Goodwin, Priscilla (LeBaron) Hammatt, Lydia (Bradford) LeBaron, David Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. The Bradford Silver Book gets through the birth of Elizabeth Hammatt. Vital records on the NEHGS site have the birth of Mary Jane's father, the marriage of Elizabeth Hammatt to Isaac Goodwin, and Mary Jane's birth in Worcester, where the family had moved from Plymouth. See her Howland-Tilley, Alden-Mullins, Hopkins, Standish, and Warren write-ups for those lines. This image is credited as a photo provided by Mary Jane's daughter, Lilian Ivers (Goodwin) DaSilva, circa 1890 would be my guess.

HARLAND, EDWARD
General Edward Harland works out to be a Generation 9 Bradford, Generation 10/11 Alden-Mullins, and Generation 10 Rogers. The authors of this book helpfully point out which ancestor was the line-carrier of his Bradford and Alden genes (but you have to look for it, then look for her in the Bradford Silver Book.) Edward's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Whiting (daughter of John, the line carrier in this instance), is noted as having been born in CT about 1750. The book from which this photo is taken gives no birth year but gives her a husband and daughter by 1778. The husband was Daniel Leffingwell and the Silver Book refers to probate docs that called Elizabeth "Leffingwell." Let's go with that, and say it's the same woman, a Generation 6. That would make Gen. Harland's Bradford line: Abigail Leffingwell (Hyde) Harland, Sarah Russell (Leffingwell) Hyde, Elizabeth (Whiting) Leffingwell, John Whiting, Elizabeth (Bradford) Whiting, Samuel Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Three women in a row with "Leffingwell" in their name says something. Starting with Gov. Bradford and reading forward in the Silver Book we find that Samuel married Hannah Rogers, an Alden-Mullins AND Rogers descendant. Somewhere in the family history Thomas Rogers had been forgotten. See Edward's Alden-Mullins and Rogers writeups for those lines. Image & info from Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London (Chicago: J. H. Beers, 1905), pp. 248-50, digitized by Brigham Young University.

Harris, Benjamin Winslow
U.S. Congressman Benjamin Harris (R-MA) (1823-1907), was a descendant of at least 8 Mayflower Families, going only from data on the Harris side. (His mother, Mary Winslow Thomas, was described in the book from which this photo came as a descendant of Kenelm Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward, and turned out to be a Warren.) Benjamin is a Generation 8 Bradford descendant and twice a Generation 8 Brown descendant from the marriage of an earlier Benjamin Harris, the congressman's great-grandfather, to Sarah Snow, who was also a Generation 5 Brown. He was also a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins & Warren, Generation 9 Cooke & Hopkins, and Generation 10 Chilton descendant. The Brown and Hopkins Silver Books get the line as far as Rep. Harris's grandfather, the first Deacon William Harris. Great-grandfather Benjamin is the final Harris entry in the Cooke Silver Book, and the Chilton & Alden Silver Books go only to Arthur Harris, the generation before him. Information on his Warren & Bradford descent is given in the description of his son Robert O. Harris, below. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-56, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Harris, Robert Orr
The son of Rep. Benjamin Winslow Harris, above, Robert O. Harris was a Generation 9 Bradford and Brown (twice), a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins & Warren Generation 10 Cooke & Hopkins, and a Generation 11 Chilton descendant. The book from which this photo comes gave data for some Mayflower lines for his father, and stated that Robert was a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) and claimed descent from William Bradford and Richard Warren. This turned out to be also through his father's line, via great-grandmother Alice (Mitchell) Harris, wife if the 1st Deacon William Harris. She was daughter of Cushing Mitchell and Margaret (---). Cushing appears as Generation 6 in v3 of the Richard Warren Silver Book, and his descent is via Edward, Alice Bradford, and Mercy Warren (Gen 3) who had married John Bradford, a Generation 2 descendant of the pilgrim. His mother's family (Julia A. Orr, daughter of Robert Orr, esq. of Boston and Melinda Wilbur) merits examination for Pilgrim links, too. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-57, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
HART, DORIS BRADFORD
This is the high school yearbook photo of Doris Bradford Hart, born in 1893, so she was 18-19 and hoped to become a teacher. Her writeup also praised her for not wanting to vote. Never let anyone put your high school yearbook on the internet. I found no birth record online but a Doris B. Hart of the same age, residence, and occupation married a William Hutchinson, 11 years her senior, in 1917 and that is where I got her parent info. If you are a Hutchinson and want to join a lineage society and do not find birth & death records, you will need to find her parents' probate records naming her the daughter of William F. Hart and Betsey W. Briggs of Fall River, MA to make this line work. From what I can ascertain in a couple hours of searching, she appears to be a Bradford, Cooke, and Warren. I suspect a Brewster line but ran into some online dead ends. Doris's Gen 9 Bradford line runs: Betsey W. (Briggs) Hart, Betsey (Bradford) Briggs, David Bradford "Jr.", Lemuel, Nathaniel, David, William, William of the Mayflower. The birth of David is in the silver book; he was born when his father was 45 and had married a second time. Lemuel's first wife was a Samson but David and descendants are not. See the Cooke and Warren sections for 2 more lines for Doris.

HASCALL, HELEN
Helen should be a Gen. 8 Bradford descendant. See the writeup of her son, Francis Lynde Stetson, below for details. Her other three sons, Ralph, William, and John Lemuel Stetson are also shown below. This image of Helen was made in 1858, when she was maybe 50. Image and info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated), Bk. 6 (Rockland, MA: A. I.

Hathaway, Bradford Gilbert Hurd
Son of Gilbert Hathaway, below, and father of the other 4 Hathaways on this page, Brad Hathaway (1814-1887) was the son also of Mary Hurd. Brad was a Generation 8 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren, and Generation 9 from Thomas Rogers. The information on this family is found in a book Brad's son Charles wrote about his great-grandfather Thomas Hathaway, a New Bedford, MA shipbuilder and Tory who in 1789-90 migrated to western New York with a religious colony led by a former Quaker, Jemima Wilkinson. Image from Charles F. Hathaway, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 13. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
Hathaway, Charles Frank
Author of the book from which the Hathaway data on this page was taken, Charles was born at Rock Stream, NY in 1854, after a nearly 12-year gap in childbearing, he noted. As his first marriage took place in Indiana, that may account for his sister Estelle's death in that state. A lawyer, he practiced in Indiana, Buffalo, and Ohio, divorced, remarried, changed careers three times, and left seven children by his two wives (as of 1909.) One of his sons likewise divorced and remarried. Divorce was more common than one might think in the decades after the Civil War, and makes genealogy in that period somewhat challenging, especially when combined with the geographic mobility of the postwar period and the destruction of the 1890 U.S. census. Fortunately Charles documented four generations of his Mayflower family, warts and all. Like his siblings, he was a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren, plus a Generation 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers. Image from Charles F. Hathaway, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 25. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
Hathaway, Estelle Maria
Estelle Maria Hathaway (1840-1907) was the second child of Bradford Gilbert Hurd Hathaway (above) and Catherine Adelia Shear, and granddaughter of Gilbert Hathaway (below.) She was the sister of Mary, George, and Charles. She was born in Rock Stream, Yates Co., NY but died in Muncie, IN, never having married. Estelle was a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren, and a Generation 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers. Image from Charles F. Hathaway, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 22. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
Hathaway, George Maltby
According to his brother Charles, author of a family genealogy, George's first name was from a parent's brother-in-law and his middle name was the surname of a business friend of his father. I add this information so readers will not go on a fruitless search for a blood connection to the Maltby family of NY. George Maltby Hathaway (1842-1903) was born in Rock Stream, Yates Co., NY and died in Wellsboro, PA. He served in the Union Army in the Civil War and left 4 children by 2 wives. He was a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren, and a Generation 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers. Image from Charles F. Hathaway, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 23. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
Hathaway, Gilbert
Father and grandfather of the other Hathaways on this page, Gilbert Hathaway (1772-1857) was the son of Thomas Hathaway and Molly Gilbert. Molly's paternal grandmother was Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert. Hannah was daughter of Samuel Bradford and Hannah Rogers. Thus, on his mother's side Gilbert was a Generation 7 Bradford descendant (via second wife Alice (Carpenter) (Southworth) Bradford) and Generation 8 from Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. He was a Generation 7 descendant of both Francis Cooke and Richard Warren on his father's side, as his immigrant ancestor, Arthur Hathaway, married Sarah Cook, daughter of Francis's son John and Sarah Warren, daughter of Richard. The information on this family is found in a book about Gilbert's father, a New Bedford, MA shipbuilder and Tory who, with his father-in-law, fled to Nova Scotia during the American Revolution. In 1789-90 he migrated to western New York, as a widower, with a religious colony led by a former Quaker, Jemima Wilkinson. Image from Charles F.

Hathaway, Mary Adelia
Mary Adelia (Hathaway) Archer (1839-1894) was the oldest child of Bradford Gilbert Hurd Hathaway (above) and Catherine Adelia Shear, and granddaughter of Gilbert Hathaway (above.) She was the sister of Estelle, George, and Charles (above.) She spent her whole life in Rock Stream, Yates Co., NY having married James M. Archer. She left one son. Mary was a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren, and a Generation 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers. Image from Charles F.

HOLBROOKE, CHARLOTTE MARSHALL
Granddaughter of Priscilla Waterman, niece of Emily & Henry Marshall, and cousin of J[ohn] Meredith Read, all below, Charlotte (1845-1909) was a Gen. 9 Bradford and a Gen. 8 Cooke, 9 Allerton & Warren, and Gen. 10 Brewster descendant. See those pages for those lineages. Her Bradford line runs: Marian (Marshall) Holbrooke, Priscilla (Waterman) Marshall, Freeman Waterman, Mercy (Freeman) Waterman, Mercy (Bradford) Freeman, John Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. She should have descendants via husband Charles Stewart Maurice, as the book with this image shows 8 of her 9 children living to adulthood. She was very active in the DAR but her applications are so old that they contain little info.

Nims Press, 1913), pp. 13, 32-3, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. Three cousins, Emily and Henry Marshall, and J[ohn] Meredith Read are pictured below, along with Meredith's sons, Harmon and John.

JEWETT, HUGH JUDGE
The Bradford silver book, last updated in 2004, leaves off with the birth of Hugh's great grandfather Thaddeus in 1746, in Sharon, CT. If you plan to join on this line you will need to document with vital records and other legal documents the rest of the descent, some of which involves immigrant records as he was named for a maternal grandfather from Ireland and an uncle. Being written up in a family history like the one with this image is not enough. The author devoted five pages to Hugh (b MD 1817, d GA 1898) but was not a descendant, so obviously held him in high regard, particularly for his interesting public life in Ohio and New York. Hopefully that means he wrote out Hugh's lineage accurately. Hugh should be a Gen 8 Bradford as follows: John Jewett, Thaddeus, Rebecca (Cook) Jewett, Leah (Ripley) Cook, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, Gov. William of the Mayflower.

KILBOURN, MARIA
Best known as the mother of inventor George Eastman of Eastman Kodak fame, she was held in very high esteem by her son and you can see her image at various ages in many photographs and paintings at the George Eastman Museum (which includes his mansion) in Rochester, NY. She was born around 1821, something I know from seeing a sampler she stitched in "A.D. 1831" at "AEt. 10 years" - also on display in the mansion. Maria's husband, George Washington Eastman died relatively young, leaving her with 2 small children to raise alone, thus the feeling on George's part that he owed her comfort for the rest of her life. Pictures of George and his sister Ellen (Eastman) Andrus are above. Note: due to George's prominence I was able to cheat, as an NEHGS member, and enter his name in their search engine, selecting "journals" for my database of choice, then seeing if anyone had profiled him in one of the genealogical journals the NEHGS has digitized for subscribers. I found a writeup of his Mayflower lineage in an article on the genealogy of American inventors. Here is Maria's Gen 8 Bradford line, beginning with her mother, per the article and confirmed in the Bradford silver book through the birth of Alice Fuller: Mary (Ballard) Kilbourn, Alice (Fuller) Ballard, Mary Edgerton (Fuller), Alice (Ripley) Edgerton, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, Gov. William of Plymouth Colony. These images are photos taken by the webmaster at the George Eastman Museum, where signs state that photography of the contents is "encouraged." The lefthand photo is likely a wedding picture, circa 1845 (age about 24.) |

LEACH, JAMES CUSHING
The grandfather of James Leach, Bradford Mitchell, is noted in the Bradford Silver Book as a Generation 6, born in 1752 to Edward Mitchell and Elizabeth Cushing. Thus it is no surprise that Bradford named a daughter (with second wife Meribah Keen) "Elizabeth Cushing Mitchell" and it is she who married into the Leach clan, becoming the wife of the Alpheus Leach born in 1796 and the mother of James, shown in the image here. He was born in 1831 in Bridgewater, a Generation 8 Bradford descendant. The line runs: Elizabeth Cushing (Mitchell) Leach, Edward Mitchell, Alice (Bradford) Mitchell, John Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Since John married Mercy Warren, granddaughter of Pilgrim Richard Warren, James was also a Generation 8 Warren.

LeBARON, FRANCIS
Apothecary General of the United States 1813-1821, the last person to hold the office, Francis was a Surgeon's Mate or Surgeon in both the Navy and the Army from 1800 onwards, thus serving during the War of 1812. This officer was in charge of all medications and surgical supplies for all branches of the military. His commissioning or service was presumably the occasion for the miniature reproduced in this book, thus Francis (1781-1829) would have been in his thirties. He died unmarried. Francis's Gen. 6 Bradford line was through his father, as follows: Isaac LeBaron, Lydia (Bradford) LeBaron, David Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. The Bradford Silver Book does get as far as the birth of Francis himself. See his Howland-Tilley writeup for that line. He is a 1st cousin twice removed of Mary Jane (Goodwin) Austin (1831-1894), above. Image and info from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass.

Leonard, Daniel
Generation 9 Daniel's great grandmother Eleanor (Ripley) Leonard was the great granddaughter of Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, a granddaughter of the pilgrim William Bradford. Daniel was born in 1839 in West Springfield, MA, where his father James Leonard, a lifelong resident, died in 1882. He was in Albany by 1861, though, marrying Mary Elizabeth Cotrell of that city. The Bradford Silver Book does get as far as Eleanor Ripley's birth (1754, Windham, CT). Cuyler Reynolds, Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, v. II (NY: Lewis Historical Publishing, 1911), p. 555. Digitized by the Library of Congress.

LONG, JOHN DAVIS & WASHINGTON
A grandson and son of Bathsheba Churchill, above, John D. (b. 1838) and his uncle Washington (b. 1811) would be Gen 9 & 8 Bradfords and also Brewster and Warren descendants. See Bathsheba's writeups for the lineage. John D. was the son of Washington's brother, Zadoc Long, in whose honor John established the town library. John's photo is courtesy of the LOC Prints and Photographs Division (reproduction #LC-USZ62-118043) taken 1900-1910, so age 62-72. His image is ensconced there because he was a governor of MA and Secretary of the Navy 1897-1902, during the Spanish-American War (Cuba & Philippines.) John spent much of his adult life in Hingham, MA (where there should be records related to his marriage and daughters) while Washington, also active in politics, spent most of his life in ME but some in KS. It's not stated that he married or left descendants, but he had 9 siblings who lived to adulthood and married. Look for surnames Long, Bray, Lovering, Bearce, Bacon, Ellis, and Loring. Bathsheba's son Zadoc was described as "tall and spare with fine cut features and a gentle manner" (in the sense of gentlemanly.) Info and Washington's image from Alfred Cole & Charles H. Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), pp. 235-246, 247, 249-251, 618-9, digitized by the NY Public Library. |

LONG, ZADOC
Born before his parents Bathsheba Churchill (above) and Thomas Long left Middleborough, MA for Maine, Zadoc kept a diary for years, and extracts are given in the book with this photo. He is the brother of Washington and father of John D. (both immediately above. His 1800 birth is in the Middleborough VRs on the NEHGS site. Like Washington he was a Gen 8 Bradford and also a Brewster and Warren descendant. The Bradford line runs: Bathsheba (Churchill) Long, Zadock Churchill, Hannah (Barnes) Churchill, Sarah (Bradford) Barnes, William Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Image from Cole & Whitman, A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine (Lewiston, ME: CF Whitman, 1915), p. 469 digitized by the NY Public Library. Extensive excerpts from the diary begin on that page. In them he mentions having portraits of himself and his wife painted at ages 29 & 22. It would be nice to show that instead of this poor digitized image.

LOVETT, JAMES D'WOLF
Grandson of Ann "Nancy" Bradford and nephew of Mary Ann/Marianne DeWolf, above, he would be a Gen. 8 Bradford and 9 Warren. Born in Boston circa 1840 he was quite a sportsman and wrote a book about sports teams, games, boxing, bodybuilding, crew, you name it in Boston of the 1850s and 1860s. What is most unusual is that the book is full of photos of the players, both team photos (with and without shirts) and individual poses, some to show musculature. He included a one-arm hang that the subject had to hold, motionless, for 75-90 seconds for cameras of that period to capture a good image. So far, one other person depicted in his book has been identified as a Mayflower descendant, and had his image posted on this web site. That is A. P. Loring, an Alden-Mullins descendant. James's Bradford line runs: Josephine Maria (DeWolf) Lovett, Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, William Bradford, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower.

MANNING, JAMES
James is said to have been born in Coventry, CT in 1792, then lived as an adult in PA & NY, according to the author of the book with this photo. He was a newspaper and held various public offices, including a judgeship, as had his father and grandfather. James lived until 1867 so there may be photos of him out there. He and his wife had a reported 10 children, of whom 4 married and left descendants. The Bradford silver book gets to the birth of his father, Calvin, in 1746 but the NEHGS shows nothing in the Barbour records beyond the birth of Calvin. Records probably do exist if you look hard enough. Based on the necktie and the kind of image on the left, it dates to the 1830s, roughly, so he was in his late 30s, early 40s when it was made. Here is James's Gen 7 Bradford lineage: Calvin Manning, Hezekiah, Irene/Irena (Ripley) Manning, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower. Image and info from William H. Manning, The Genealogical and Biographical History of the Manning Families of New England and Descendants, from the Settlement in America to Present Time (Salem: Salem Press, 1902), pp. 151-2, 187-8, 246-7, 339-40, digitized by the Library of Congress.

MANNING, WILLIAM JOSIAH
Although the Bradford silver book leaves off with the birth of William's great grandfather Frederick Manning, the rest is probably reliable as Frederick's son carried on his trade (stone carving); his grandson moved to NY and was there an hotelier, merchant, Justice of the Peace, and large landowner; William was a NY merchant and an attorney. In other words, there would be a paper trail for these folks and they had not gone far. Still, you'd have to provide birth, death, and marriage records for them and spouses, on down to yourself. William's Gen. 9 Bradford line should run: Rockwell Manning, Josiah, Frederick Manning, Mary (Cook) Manning, Leah (Ripley) Cook, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower.

MARSHALL, EMILY
Emily was a Gen. 8 Bradford via her mother, Priscilla Waterman, below, through whom she was also an Allerton, Brewster, Cooke, and Warren. See her, her mother's, her aunt Charlotte Holbrooke's, and her nephew J[ohn] Meredith Read's write-ups in those sections for more on this family, including the lineages. Born in Boston 1807, Emily married lawyer William Foster Otis there in 1831, and had 3 children there before she died in 1836, thus she did leave descendants. This image depicts her at no older than 29. This slightly colorized image is from Virginia Tatnall Peacock, Famous American Belles of the Nineteenth Century (Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1901), frontispiece, digitized by the California Public Libraries, and info from Mr. & Mrs. Frank Burnside Kingsbury, Marshall Family Record, with Haskell, Boutwell, Barrett, Wadsworth, White, Read, Maurice, Kingsbury, Holbrooke, Stevens, Carpenter, and Allied Families (Keene, NH: Walter T.

MARSHALL, HENRY
Younger brother of Emily Marshall, above, thus the son of Priscilla Waterman, below, and an uncle of Charlotte Marshall Holbrooke, above, and J[ohn] Meredith Read, below, he was a Gen. 8 Bradford plus a Gen. 9 Brewster, Gen. 8 Allerton & Warren, and a Gen. 7 Cooke descendant. His Bradford line would run: Priscilla (Waterman) Marshall, Freeman Waterman, Mercy (Freeman) Waterman, Mercy (Bradford) Freeman, John Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. Born in Boston on Christmas Day, 1810, he died in Philadelphia in 1836 and is buried there, according to the author of the book in which this miniature was reproduced. Nothing more is said about him so presumably there were no descendants.

Mitchell, Nahum
This likeness is from an engraving made about 1857 from a portrait painted about 1840-1850 when the sitter would have been in his 70s. Nahum (1769-1853) was a descendant of Experience Mitchell but by his second wife, thus not a Cooke. He is both a Bradford and Warren 7th generation descendant via his paternal grandfather, who was son of Alice (Bradford) Mitchell. The lineage is detailed through the grandfather, Col. Edward Mitchell in the Bradford Silver Book and through his son (Nahum's father), Cushing Mitchell, in the Warren Silver Book, part 3. The lineage also appears in the book from which this image was taken. (A better scan would be appreciated.) Image from Nahum Mitchell, A History of the Early Settlement of Bridgewater, in Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Boston: Kidder & Wright, 1840, repr. Bridgewater: Pratt, 1897), frontispiece, digitized by the Library of Congress.
Newcomb, Almon
Son of Dalton, nephew of Zebina, and first cousin of John, Richard, Martha, and Lizzie (all below), MA state legislator Almon Newcomb was a Generation 8 Bradford descendant. He was born in 1829, married in 1852 to Mary Hale, and died "at his home," presumably in Bernardston, in 1885, thus he was no older than 56 when this photo as taken. Image from Lucy Cutler Kellogg, History of the Town of Bernardston, Franklin County, Massachusetts 1736-1900 (Greenfield, MA: E. A. Hall, 1902), p. 441, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.
NEWCOMB, CYRENIUS ADALBERT
He has a son of the same name, but this one was b. 1837 in Cortland, NY according to the book with this photo and the Newcomb family genealogy published in 1874. Like all of the other Newcombs on this page except for Horatio, he is from the line of Peter Newcomb, son of Jerusha Bradford. Cyrenius's Gen 8 line runs: Hezekiah Newcomb, Hezekiah, Peter, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Silas Farmer, The History of Detroit and Michigan or the Metropolis Illustrated, a Chronological Cyclopedia of the Past and Present, Including a Full Record of Territorial Days in Michigan and the Annals of Wayne County (Detroit: Silas Farmer & Co, 1889), pp. 1163-4, digitized by the University of California Libraries. I note that Silas referred to himself as the "City Historiographer." Would that there were more such employment for historians.
He has a son of the same name, but this one was b. 1837 in Cortland, NY according to the book with this photo and the Newcomb family genealogy published in 1874. Like all of the other Newcombs on this page except for Horatio, he is from the line of Peter Newcomb, son of Jerusha Bradford. Cyrenius's Gen 8 line runs: Hezekiah Newcomb, Hezekiah, Peter, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower.

Newcomb, Dalton
Dalton, brother of Zebina (below) and father of Almon (above) was a Generation 7 Bradford descendant. The Bradford Silver Books gets as far as their father, Hezekiah Newcomb, born in Lebanon CT in 1747. Dalton was born in 1783, probably also in CT, and married Harriet Wells of Greenfield, MA, then her sister Caroline after Harriet's death. A farmer, he lived in Bernardston, MA and died 1861. His Bradford descent is via grandfather Peter Newcomb, whose mother was Jerusha Bradford (Thomas, William, William). Image from Lucy Cutler Kellogg, History of the Town of Bernardston, Franklin County, Massachusetts 1736-1900 (Greenfield, MA: E. A. Hall, 1902), p. 441, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.
NEWCOMB, GEORGE WHITFIELD
Presumably named for the minister, attorney/financier George W. Newcomb of Chicago (b VT 1825) was a Gen 8 Bradford due to the same Hezekiah Newcomb - Jerusha Bradford marriage that produced others on this page. His line runs: Asahel Newcomb, William, Peter, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. He married an Eddy, so if you find pictures of his 5 children, all living when the book with this image was published, check out their maternal line. Their grandfather was an Azariah Eddy who lived in Washington Co, NY when daughter Mary Eliza (their mother) was born in 1832 but may have moved to Lyons, IA, because that is where she married George. The image was stated to be an engraving made from an 1873 photo, when he was about 48. Note: if you run into trouble tracking this family in Chicago, his business, at least, was apparently burned out in the Great Fire. The address of his home and office are in this book. Image and info from John Bearse Newcomb, Genealogical Memoir of the Newcomb Family.... (Elgin, IL: author, 1874), pp. 429-30digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

NEWCOMB, HORATIO ARETAS
This 1873 photo of Horatio, a longtime railroad conductor and Gen 9 Bradford descendant, was taken at about age 44. At the time he had no surviving children but the book appeared just one year later so there was still time. He lived and worked in the Midwest for Chicago & Northwestern RR. Horatio is related to the other Newcombs on this page, all descendants of the wife of Hezekiah Newcomb, Jerusha Bradford. Horatio's line would run: Asahel Newcomb, Asahel, Paul, Silas, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower.

NEWCOMB, JOHN BEARSE
Author of the book from which this image was taken, he made the wise decision to go with engravings rather than photographs, given how poorly photographs in these digitized books turn out. He was also a descendant of Hezekiah and Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, thus a Gen 8 Bradford as follows: Obadiah Newcomb, William, Peter, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. His father was a cousin of Zebina (below) and Dalton (above.) The Bradford silver book gets as far as the birth of John's grandfather, William Newcomb and from there you are on your own because the family removed to places in central/western MA and NY where the NEHGS has few records currently. Probably John knew who his own grandparents were, but you will have to prove it to the GSMD or any other lineage society, such as the SAR or DAR (as a descendant of William.) Image and info from John Bearse Newcomb, Genealogical Memoir of the Newcomb Family, Containing Records of Nearly Every Person of the Name in America from 1635 to 1874, also the First Generation of Children Descended from Females Who Have Lost the Name Newcomb by Marriage, with Notices of the Family in England During the Past Seven Hundred Years (Elgin, IL: author, 1874), frontispiece, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

Newcomb, John Curtis and Richard Foote
The author of this book did not state which photo was of John (b. 1828), and which of Richard (b. 1837), both Generation 8 descendants of William Bradford, sons of Zebina Curtis Newcomb (below) and 1st wife Maria Lydia Goodale, and brothers of Martha and Elizabeth (below). John later lived in Beloit and Chicago and was in the paper mill business. Richard served during the Civil War and later worked with John in the paper business in Chicago and Quincy, IL. Both left descendants. Image from Lucy Cutler Kellogg, History of the Town of Bernardston, Franklin County, Massachusetts 1736-1900 (Greenfield, MA: E. A. Hall, 1902), p. 446, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.
Newcomb, Martha Laurens and Elizabeth Maria
The author likewise did not state which photo was of Martha (b. 1820), and which of "Lizzie" (1831-1890), both Generation 8 descendants of William Bradford, daughters of Zebina Curtis Newcomb (below) and 1st wife Maria Lydia Goodale, and sisters of John and Richard (above.) Martha had moved to Oakland, CA by the time this book was published and Lizzie apparently followed her brothers to Beloit, then Quincy. Both did not marry and presumably left no descendants.

Newcomb, Zebina Curtis
The Bradford Silver Books gets as far as Generation 7 Zebina's father, Hezekiah Newcomb, born in Lebanon CT in 1747. Zebina, brother of Dalton, father of John, Richard, Martha, and Lizzie, and uncle of Almon (all above) was born in 1791 and married in 1811 Maria Lydia Goodale (mother of all his children). They lived in Bernardston, MA, where he held various town offices. Zebina died in 1868. His Bradford descent is via grandfather Peter Newcomb, whose mother was Jerusha Bradford (Thomas, William, William). A larger and sharper image must exist somewhere and would be welcome here.

PERKINS, WILLIAM
Via his mother, William of Plympton, MA (1824-1911) was both a Generation 8 Bradford and Warren. His line runs as follows: Sophia Loring (Bradford) Perkins, John Bradford, John, Samuel, John, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. See his Warren writeup for details of that line. Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 3 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1601, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Sons of James DeWolf Perry, below, and brothers of Rev. James, William Wallace, and Raymond H. Perry, also below, Rev. Calbraith Bourn Perry (b. 1846) and Charles Varnum Perry (b. 1853) are Gen 9 Bradford and double Warren descendants. Calbraith was the author of the book from which this was taken, and it comes from a group photo of the 5 surviving brothers on the porch of the family home with their mother, Julia Sophia Jones (1816-1898), not a known Mayflower descendant.

PERRY, JAMES DE WOLF
Named for his mother Mary Ann/Marianne De Wolf's brother, this James, of Bristol, RI, was a Gen. 8 Bradford as follows: Mary Ann/Marianne (DeWolf) Perry, Ann "Nancy" Bowman (Bradford) DeWolf, William Bradford, Samuel, John, William, William of the Mayflower. Like his mother and grandmother Ann Bradford (also above), James (1815-76) was a double Warren descendant, too. See Mary Ann's Warren writeup for that lineage. Image and info from Calbraith B.

READ, HARMON PUMPELLY & JOHN MEREDITH
Author, historian, and coats-of-arms expert Harmon Pumpelly Read (b. 1860), on the left, was named for his maternal grandfather and wrote a book about the Rosses and Reads, his armorial ancestors. He included his own photo, that of his father J. Meredith and mother Delphine Marie (Pumpelly) Read, and that of his brother John Meredith Read (b. 1869) - but dressed in period costume for a bicentennial tableaux that included ancestor George Read of DE, a signer of the Declaration of Independence (among many other accomplishments.) Thus the powdered wig. See the writeup on their father, J. Meredith Read, below, for the lineages, photo & data credits, and relationships to others on this page. A sharper scan from a hardcover original would be appreciated. |

READ, J[OHN] MEREDITH
Referred to in some books as General John Meredith Read but apparently known as "Meredith" he was the 3rd of at least 4 John Reads in a row, the first three prominent public figures of their day. J. Meredith (b. 1837) was a Bradford, Allerton, Cooke, Brewster, & Warren descendant via his mother. A book with genealogical details about the family stressed the Read and Pumpelly lines and mentioned Mayflower descent but gave zero details as to how any of them were related to Mayflower passengers. The name "Priscilla" is always worth exploring and in this case turned out to be the correct clue. Meredith turned out to be the grandson of Priscilla Waterman, below, and the nephew of Emily and Henry Marshall, above. Meredith's two sons, Harmon & John (in period costume) are above, and Harmon wrote a book with the photos of his father, (L) as ambassador to either France or Greece 1859-1879 and (R) in uniform, age 23. A family photo can be seen on findagrave. Meredith's Gen 9 Bradford line runs: Priscilla (Marshall) Read, Priscilla (Waterman) Marshall, Freeman Waterman, Mercy (Freeman) Waterman, Mercy (Bradford) Freeman, John Bradford, William, Gov. William. See the other sections for those write-ups. Info from Cuyler Reynolds, Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, Vol. 2 (NY: Lewis Historical Publishing, 1911), pp. 493-5 and image from Harmon Pumpelly Read, Rossiana (Albany: author, 1908), pp. 302, 304. |

REYNOLDS, GEORGE NELSON
Born in NY City in 1869, this Gen. 8 Bradford is also a Brewster descendant on his mother's side. George's line runs: Nelson Briggs Reynolds, Betsey/Betty (Briggs) Reynolds, Betsey/Betty (Bradford) Briggs, Ezekiel Bradford, Ephraim, William, William Bradford of the Mayflower. The Bradford silver book gets you as far as the 2nd Betty/Betsey, the Love Brewster pink book only as far as her mother. Beyond that you are on your own to prove the line, and by then the family was in Maine, coverage of which is spotty in terms of online genealogy sources. By the time it reaches George, you will have to look for records in NY, WI, & PA. Image and info from Jones, The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907, Vol. 2 (NY: Grafton Press, 1908), pp. 882 & 1204 and Vol. 1, pp. 194 & 422, both scanned at the Library of Congress.

RIPLEY, GEORGE BURBANK
The Bradford Silver Book gets as far as the birth of George's father Dwight Ripley, and everything in the book from which this image was taken agrees with what the GSMD has published. George would be a Generation 7 Bradford. The birth & marriage of his parents plus his own birth can be found on the NEHGS site. There are a couple of discrepancies in that the author of G & B R calls Dwight "Major" while the CT vital records use "Dr." (he was a druggist) and leaves out a first wife, Martha "Coil" (Coit?) possibly a relative of the second wife, Eliza Coit, mother of George and the other children. There were a lot of "Coits" in Connecticut and it would be worth someone's time to see if Eliza, daughter of Capt. William, was also a Pilgrim descendant. Image and info from Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London (Chicago: J. H. Beers, 1905), pp. 112-3, digitized by Brigham Young University.

ROBBINS, THOMAS
This image is somewhat crude and a scan of a reprint on top of that, but it's a Gen. 6, and gives you an idea of what Rev. Thomas Robbins looked like. Thomas (1777-1856) died unmarried but had 7 siblings who lived to adulthood and they are in the Bradford Silver Book. His line runs: Elizabeth (LeBaron) Robbins, Lydia (Bradford) (Cushman) LeBaron, David Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. Like his father, the Rev. Ammi Ruhamah Robbins, Thomas was a minister (who served in the Revolutionary War, if you are looking for DAR or SAR ancestors.) The book from which this image was taken credited it to the Connecticut Historical Society and it is cropped from a full-size picture showing Thomas seated in a chair in a study or library, book and eyeglasses in hand, indicating that he was a learned individual. He was an uncle of Robbins Battell, above. Image and some info from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 16, 22, 31, 32, digitized by the New York Public Library.

ROBERSON, WILLIAM CLEVELAND
He is a grandson of Newcomb Cleveland and a "cousin" of George and Frederick Cleveland and the Newcombs on this page, all above. All but one of the Newcombs descended from Jerusha (Newcomb) Cleveland's brother Peter, the holdout being a descendant of a brother named Silas Newcomb. Those three had five other siblings who lived to adulthood, and Jerusha Cleveland and husband Ezra had ten children. William was born in NY City in 1858 and worked for the commodities exchange there. Union University in Albany was his alma mater, and they put out a three-volume history that held this picture and a mention of his descent from William Bradford, so this family had a good memory. William's Gen 9 line runs: Sarah (Cleveland) Roberson, Newcomb Cleveland, Frederick, Jerusha (Newcomb) Cleveland, Jerusha (Bradford) Newcomb, Thomas Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. The Bradford silver book gets only to Jerusha Cleveland, so you will have to brave NY genealogy to prove the rest to the GSMD or any other lineage society that requests original records. Image and info from Andrew Van Vranken Raymond, Union University, Its History, Influence, Characteristics, and Equipment, Vol. III (NY: Lewis, 1907), pp.135-6, and digitized cockeyed by the NY Public Library. It was aided by E. J. and H. G. Cleveland's The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, Vols.

SAMPSON, DEBORAH
Yes, this is the famous MA woman who successfully disguised herself as a male, fought in the Revolutionary War, and was granted a service pension later. Her early biographers were aware of her pilgrim heritage, as she is just Gen 5 in the Bradford silver book. Wikipedia runs a version of this image and in the credit line says, "Engraving by George Graham. From a drawing by William Beastall, which was based on a painting by Joseph Stone. Used as the frontispiece of The Female Review: Life of Deborah Sampson, the Female Soldier in the War of Revolution, by Herman Mann." There is a lot published about her and as she gave public speeches later in life there are descriptions of her appearance. The consensus seems to be that it was not extremely difficult for her to pass herself as a male due to her height, reportedly 5'9", and her build being large. The artist may have taken some liberties with the hairdo. Deborah was born in Plympton in 1760, married Benjamin Gannett in 1785, and died in Sharon, MA in 1827. She left three Gannett children, so look for descendants by that surname. She is also one of the rare people on this page who did not descend from William Bradford's son William. Beginning with her mother, her line runs: Deborah (Bradford) Sampson, Elisha Bradford, Joseph, William of the Mayflower. The volume with this image (left) was downloaded from Internet Archive, digitized and uploaded by the California Digital Libraries. Another version of her image (right) was scanned from a hardcover copy of Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 330, at the Library of Congress. See her Alden-Mullins and Standish write-ups for those paternal lines. |

SMITH, HENRY FOWLE (DURAMNT) SEE FOWLE, PAULINE, above
Soule, Lawrence Porter
A Generation 8 Bradford descendant, Lawrence was related in a direct line to 7 other Mayflower lines, including George Soule and Henry Samson (twice) in Generation 7. All of his Pilgrim ancestors were on his father's side. Lawrence was born 1831 in Duxbury to Stephen and Lydia (Pierce) Soule and was the grandson of William and Priscilla (Sampson) Soule, both of whom are listed as Generation 5 Samson descendants in Silver Books, volume 20, parts 1 & 3. Priscilla was the daughter of Elijah and Ruth (Bradford) Sampson. Ruth's Bradford forebears were Gamaliel, Samuel, William, and William the pilgrim. Other Mayflower ancestors include Brewster (Gen 9), Alden-Mullins (8/9), Rogers (9), and Warren (9). All of these lineages are detailed, albeit confusingly in the following book, from which the image also comes: Charles Edwin Hurd, The New England Library of Genealogy and Personal History (Boston: New England Historical Publishing Co., 1902), pp. 666-668, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
STETSON, FRANCIS LYNDE
President of Stetson Kindred when the book from which this image was taken was published, Francis should be a Gen. 9 Bradford, along with his brothers John Lemuel, Ralph Hascall, and William Sterne Stetson and their Gen 8 mother, Helen (Hascall) Stetson, above. The big "if" is "if their maternal grandmother Alice Fitch Gen 6 of Canterbury CT who married Ralph Hascall is the same Alice Fitch Gen 6 b. Canterbury b. 1781 to Jabez & Lydia. I believe she is, so am adding the four Stetson brothers and Helen to this page. Francis was age 56 in this 1902 picture and is the only brother who lived even to middle age and the only one who left children. He wrote this section of the article in this book and stated that most of the family had brown hair, blue eyes, and a ruddy complexion. The images on this page appear to show Francis, Ralph, and William as blue-eyed but John Lemuel's eye color is hard to discern. The Stetson brothers' Bradford line should run: Helen (Hascall) Stetson, Ralph Hascall, Alice (Fitch) Hascall, Jabez Fitch, Jabez, Alice (Bradford) Fitch, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated), Bk. 6 (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), pp. 86, 91, 99, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

Francis was age 56 in this 1902 picture and is the only brother who lived even to middle age and the only one who left children. He wrote this section of the article in this book and stated that most of the family had brown hair, blue eyes, and a ruddy complexion. The images on this page appear to show Francis, Ralph, and William as blue-eyed but John Lemuel's eye color is hard to discern. The Stetson brothers' Bradford line should run: Helen (Hascall) Stetson, Ralph Hascall, Alice (Fitch) Hascall, Jabez Fitch, Jabez, Alice (Bradford) Fitch, William Bradford, William of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated), Bk. 6 (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), pp. 86, 91, 99, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.
STETSON, JOHN LEMUEL
A Civil War soldier killed at Antietam, John Lemuel was a six-footer, age about 23 in the 1857 photo on the left and about 27 in the 1861 photo on the right in uniform and with mustache. His Bradford line, subject to the same assumptions about Alice (Fitch) Hascall, is the same as that of his brother, Francis Lynde Stetson, above. He was also the brother of Ralph Hascall Stetson and William Sterne Stetson, below. Image and some info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated), Bk. 6 (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), pp. 86-95, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. |

STETSON, RALPH HASCALL
Named for his maternal grandfather, Ralph (like brothers John Lemuel, Francis Lynde, and William Sterne Stetson) should be a Gen. 9 Bradford descendant thanks to their mother Helen Hascall, also on this page. Ralph would have been about 26 when this photo was taken in 1858. He died in NY City and left no family. Image and some info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated), Bk. 6 (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), pp. 83, 86, 98, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

STETSON, WILLIAM STERNE
William Sterne Stetson, also a probable Gen. 9 Bradford, as described in brother Francis's writeup, above, was about 30 when this image was made in 1880. He was also a son of Helen Hascall, above, and died in California in 1883. See Francis Lynde Stetson's writeup for his lineage. Image and info from Nelson M.

Sturtevant, Julian Monson
All of J. M. Sturtevant's (1805-1886) Mayflower heritage - Generation 8 Bradford and Allerton, 8 & 9 Warren - comes from his father's
family. It is documented in the Silver Books as far as his paternal
grandfather, Peleg Sturtevant, whose sons Warren and Bradford migrated
west from Connecticut to Ohio in 1816, as Julian relates in his
autobiography. The Pilgrim lines came through great-grandmother Fear
(Cushman) Sturtevant. She was a Generation 5 descendant of William
Bradford, and along the Bradford line she was twice related to Richard
Warren. Fear also traced her lineage to Isaac Allerton and his first
wife Mary Norris, whom he married in Leyden. Wife #2 Fear Brewster would
have been stepmother to Mary Allerton, from whom Fear Cushman
descended, and likely the reason for the name "Fear" appearing in that
family among some of the female descendants. Image and information from Julian M. Sturtevant, Jr.,

TERRY, ISRAEL NEWTON
Rev. Terry (b. MA 1851) had died in 1908, before the book from which the photo comes was published, but he belonged to the GSMD as a Bradford descendant so the author was able to state that he was 8th in descent from William but not be specific. He also had the parents' names and knew that a Maj. Ephraim Terry was a direct ancestor but gave no more details. Thanks to the NEHGS site and a biography of the family (available on Internet Archive) it turns out Israel's Gen 9 line runs: James Pease Terry, Solomon Terry, Samuel, Ann (Collins) Terry, Alice (Adams) Collins, Alice (Bradford) Adams, William Bradford, Gov. William. Maj. Ephraim Terry (1701-1783) was the husband of Gen 5 Ann Collins. Ephraim has a Rev. War marker on his grave and but he was apparently major of the militia. He is in the DAR patriot database for his service as a Justice of the Peace, not as a major in the Continental Line, as the Oneida County book states. Given his age, his militia service was more likely in the French & Indian War, an earlier colonial war, or in peacetime. Descendants can check for eligibility in the National Society Daughters of Colonial Wars or General Society of Colonial Wars for males. Image & some info from History of Oneida County, New York, from 1700 to the Present Time, Vol. II (Chicago: Clarke, 1912), pp. 154, 156-7, digitized by the NY Public Libraries. More info is in Stephen Terry, comp., Notes of Terry Families in the United States of America, Mainly Descended from Samuel, of Springfield, Mass., but Including Also Some Descended from Stephen, of Windsor, Conn., Thomas, of Freetown, Mass., and Others (Hartford: Stephen Terry, 1887), pp. 10, 16-17, 32, 34, 69-70, 135-6, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

WATERMAN, PRISCILLA
Daughter of Freeman Waterman and Joanna Tomson/Tompson/Thomson/Thompson "Junior" of Halifax, Plymouth County, both Mayflower descendants, Priscilla was a Gen. 7 Bradford descendant via her father. His birth in Plympton, 1748, is in the Bradford and Allerton Silver Books and his marriage and children are in the vital records on the NEHGS site. (Priscilla's own birth is in the Cooke volume.) Priscilla's Bradford line runs: Freeman Waterman, Mercy (Freeman) Waterman, Mercy (Bradford) Freeman, John Bradford, William, Gov. William of the Mayflower. Priscilla is also a Gen. 6 Cooke, a Gen. 7 Allerton, and a Brewster and Warren descendant. See those pages for those write-ups and the Cooke page for more info about Priscilla and her family. (Her children Emily and Henry Marshall and grandson J[ohn] Meredith Read with his two sons, are pictured above.) Image and info from Mr. & Mrs. Frank Burnside Kingsbury, Marshall Family Record, with Haskell, Boutwell, Barrett, Wadsworth, White, Read, Maurice, Kingsbury, Holbrooke, Stevens, Carpenter, and Allied Families (Keene, NH: Walter T. Nims Press, 1913), pp. 8-9, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

WELLMAN, ARTHUR HOLBROOK
Publisher of a Wellman family genealogy written by his father Joshua Wyman Wellman, below, Arthur Holbrook Wellman (b 1855) was a Gen 9 & 10 Bradford and a Gen 10 Brewster (see his father's writeups for the paternal lineages), but thanks to his mother was also a Thomas Rogers, John Alden & Priscilla/William Mullins descendant, and a Bradford all over again. See those sections for his lineages. Arthur's third, maternal Bradford line (also Gen 10) should run: Ellen Maria (Holbrook) Wellman, Prudence (Durfee) Holbrook, Wealthy (Hathaway) Durfee, Gilbert Hathaway, Wealthy (Gilbert) Hathaway, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Samuel Bradford, William, William of the Mayflower. The Bradford silver book gets as far as the birth of Gilbert Hathaway and from there you must turn to H. G. Thomas's Vital Records of the Town of Freetown, Massachusetts 1686 through 1890 (Westminster, MD: Heritage, 2010.) Worth every penny if you have ancestors from Bristol Co and the environs.

WELLMAN, JAMES ALBERT
Nephew of Joshua Wyman Wellman, below, and cousin of Arthur Holbrook Wellman, above, insurance agent James (b. Cornish, NH 1867) was a double Bradford (Gens 9 & 10) and a Brewster descendant (Gen 10.) His line would begin with his father, Albert Erasmus Wyman, then pick up with the same lineage as Albert's 17-years-older brother Joshua. See James's uncle and cousin's writeups for more details. Image and info from Joshua Wyman Wellman, Descendants of Thomas Wellman of Lynn, Massachusetts (Boston: Arthur Holbrook Wellman, 1918), 265, 475-6, digitized by Boston Public Libraries.

WELLMAN, JOSHUA WYMAN
A Gen. 9 & 8 Bradford descendant, according to the author of the book from which this image was taken, the Rev. Wellman (b 1821 Cornish, NH) spent his life in New England. He and son Arthur (above) were 2 authors of a Thomas Wellman family genealogy, but this version of his photo is sharper, believe it or not. Joshua's 1st Bradford line should run: James Ripley Wellman, Alethea (Ripley) Wellman, Lydia (Brewster) Ripley, Faith (Ripley) Brewster, David Ripley, Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, Gov. William of the Mayflower. The 2d runs: James Ripley Wellman, Alethea (Ripley) Wellman, William Ripley, Joshua Ripley, Jr., Hannah (Bradford) Ripley, William Bradford, Gov. William again. He was also a Gen 9 Brewster descendant. See that writeup for the lineage. The Love Brewster pink book gets you to the birth of Lydia Brewster in CT, 1739/40 but the Bradford silver book gives her married name, Ripley. On the other Bradford line the silver book gets you to the birth of Alathea. Thus you must prove from Joshua through his grandmother to join any lineage society, but especially the GSMD. Image and info from Emma Brewster Jones, The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907, Vol. 2 (NY: Grafton Press, 1908), pp. 839, 1175-7 and from Vol. 1, pp. 187, 401-2, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

WHITE, THOMAS FOSTER
This Gen 8 Bradford descendant was born in 1802 to Luther White and Mary Deleno. Luther's own 1758 birth is in the Bradford, Doty, and White silver books. Many of the lineages in the book from which image to the left was taken do not agree with what is in the White book (pub. 2006) but this one does. Thomas's paternal grandmother was the Bradford and his paternal great grandmother was the Doty. Thomas's Bradford line runs: Luther White, Benjamin, Mercy (Thomas) White, Abigail (Baker) Thomas, Sarah (Bradford) Baker, William Bradford, Gov. William of the Mayflower. Thank you to the MD reader who scanned the paper copy of the book with this image at the Library of Congress in DC. In this updated version you can see that Thomas had blue eyes. For Thomas's White and Bradford lines, see his writeup in those sections.
