ADAMS, CHARLES HENRY
Charles was a whaling master as well as a Generation 8 Rogers and Cooke descendant, so if you are descended from him you are also eligible to join Descendants of Whaling Masters, a Massachusetts group that works closely with the New Bedford Whaling Museum. The book from which this image was taken lists many of his ships and voyages and notes that he was married three times but not whether he had children or not. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the birth of his grandfather, Walley Adams, in 1730 and MA vital records take it from there, confirming the lineage in this book. Charles's Rogers line runs: Thomas Adams, Walley, Sarah (Phinney) Adams, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. See his Cooke writeup for that lineage. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 260, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, ALBERT
Albert turns out to be a second cousin of Charles L. and tribe, below. The book with this photo had just one factoid about Albert, that he was born in 1817. The other statement, that he was 7 gen from John Alden is not a factoid, but a mistakoid, as far as I can determine. His Mason card on the NEHGS gave his death date & place and the death record revealed him to have been born in Jay, ME and his parents to be Otis & Harriet Adams. Harriet was from ME but Otis was from SE MA. It looks like they are the couple who died in 1835 & 1837, respectively, both in their 30s. There was a birth record for an Otis born to a Daniel (miraculously, no mother was involved.) A probate record showed what I believe to be the same Otis and siblings left to a Samuel Jr. who was likely their uncle. Father Daniel had also died young. Daniel & Samuel Jr. were sons of Hannah Williams, who (as noted below) is your gateway ancestor for various royalty-oriented lineage societies - IF you can prove my speculation correct. Albert would be a Gen 9 Rogers as follows: Otis Alden, Daniel, Hannah (Williams) Alden, Nathaniel Williams, Nathaniel, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. See the Alden-Mullins section for that Gen 8/9 lineage. Image and birth year from Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 294, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALDEN, CHARLES L.
Charles was a Gen 9 Rogers and Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins, thanks to his great grandmother Hannah Williams's marriage to Samuel Alden (making him 2nd cousin to Albert, above.) That marriage is in both the Rogers and Alden v. 1 silver books. (See the Alden-Mullins writeup for that line & more detail.) His Rogers line runs, from Charles: Isaac Alden, Seth Alden, Hannah (Williams) Alden, Nathaniel Williams, Nathaniel, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. Elizabeth Rogers' husband, also a Nathaniel Williams, was son of Richard and Frances (Dighton/Deighton) Williams. Frances is a "gateway ancestor" to several lineage societies that focus on royal blood, including the Baronial Order of Magna Carta and Order of the Crown of Charlemagne, or if you are the down-to-earth sort, the National Society of Saints & Sinners, the Society of Descendants of Lady Godiva (I am told they simply have fun and consume Godiva chocolate), and the Society of Royal Bastard Ancestry (whose web site I cannot find.) The photo to the left was cropped from the family photo below. Image from Augustus Ephraim Alden, Pilgrim Alden (Boston: James H. Earle, 1902), p. 189, scanned by me.

ALDEN, CHARLES L., CHILDREN OF (Arthur, Charles L. Jr., Esther, John, Myles/Miles Standish, Priscilla, Rachel)
At home in Hyde Park, MA, from left to right, with approximate ages based on the 1900 FC: Rachel, 9; John, 17; Mrs. Alden (Bessie Wheeler), 41; Charles L., Jr., 11; Myles/Miles Standish, 4; Esther, 6; Priscilla, 15; Mr. Alden, 43; Arthur, 13.

Babbitt, Dean Richmond
Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt (d 1905) is said to be a Rogers descendant. It would have to be on the maternal side, possible through a Richmond + Hathaway match of a Gen 6 or 7 couple, making Rev. Babbit Gen. 10 or 11. His great-grandparents were a Hathaway Richmond and a Rachel Dean, both "of Taunton." I am investigating this claim. Having found omissions already in this book and noting that the obituaries did not make a Rogers claim (and gave his age at death as 45, 54, and 64), I would not rule out a different lineage common to that area, most likely Cooke. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 648, scanned at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.
Bogardus, Washington A. H.
This Washington A. H. Bogardus (1858-1902), father of Washington Everardus below, was named for a grandfather of the same name, descendant of a 1633 New York Dutch minister immigrant, Everardus Bogardus. He was a Gen 10 Rogers, Gen 10/11 Alden-Mullins. The Rogers silver book leaves off with Nathaniel Searle's son Constant and his children. They were referred to in Nathaniel Searle's will but not named. This line needs a lot of documentation to be submittable to a lineage society. (See his Alden writeup for more details & that lineage.) Washington's Rogers line should run: Mary Eliza (Searles) Bogardus, James Harvey Searles, James Searles, Constant Searle, Nathaniel, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. Information and photo from Cuyler Reynolds, Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, v. II (NY: Lewis Historical Publishing, 1911), pp. 508-09, digitized by the Library of Congress.
Bogardus, Washington Everardus
This picture was probably taken a few years before the book's publication in 1911, because the sitter, son of Washington A. H. above, was referred to as having been born in 1896 and currently "preparing for college at St. George school, near Newport, Rhode Island, having finished his course at the celebrated Fay School for small boys at Southboro, Massachusetts." Young Washington would be a Generation 11 Rogers and Generation 11-12 Alden-Mullins if his family's claims are true. His last known whereabouts were Hawaii, living in the same household as his wife's parents in the 1920 U.S. census. Cuyler Reynolds, Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, v. II (NY: Lewis Historical Publishing, 1911), p. 509, 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 is more or less what the author of the Brainerd book says, but it's he and not his mother who was the Gen. 8 Bradford. See that writeup for the details. George is also a Rogers and a double Alden-Mullins descendant. His Gen 9 Rogers line runs: Rebecca (Bradford) Brainerd, Joel Bradford, Jeremiah, Gershom Bradford, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. Image and some info from from Lucy Abigail Brainard, The Genealogy of the Brainerd-Brainard Family, 1649-1908, Vol. II (Hartford Press, 1908), pp. 154-55. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.

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 Rogers and Bradford lines. Good things come to those who wait! The Gen 10 Rogers line runs as follows: Ruth (Copeland) Brett, Ebenezer Copeland, Anna/Abbe (Godfrey) Copeland, Mary (Gilbert) Godfrey, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. See his Alden and Bradford write-ups for those lines. Image from L. B. Goodenow, The Brett Genealogy (Cambridge: Murray & Emery, 1915), p. 294, digitized by HathiTrust.

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 Rogers, Samson, Alden-Mullins, Bradford, 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 12 Rogers line runs: George Brewster, Nathan Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Brewster, Abigail (Samson) Samson, Ruth (Bradford) Samson, Gamaliel Bradford, Samuel Bradford, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers 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. |

BUMPUS, H.
His origins were in Wareham, but H. moved to New Bedford, where his aunt and her family also lived. If I have identified her properly, A. Hudson, below, is Officer Bumpus's first cousin. This image comes from a group photo owned by the New Bedford Public Library and online courtesy of Digital Commonwealth. It's historical value lies in the fact that it is believed to be the first photo of the city's organized police force, taken in 1878. Here is a link to the photo, which has a writeup identifying each individual officer. You can enlarge the photo with good results. Like his cousin, H. was a Gen. 9 Rogers and a Gen 9 Warren and Gen 10 Brewster descendant. He was in his 50s in this photo, a full generation older than his cousin.

BURT, GRAFTON A.
This is the same photo from the same source as the one on his findagrave writeup. It gives no father but he was not hard to find using the databases on the NEHGS site. Vital records for Berkley and Dighton in Bristol County, MA are sketchy, so there might be another Mayflower ancestor on his mother Georgianna C. Briggs's side, best bet another Rogers line. Grafton is shown here about age 18 in the uniform of the military cadet corps at his high school (similar to our Junior ROTC but possibly mandatory.) He was a lieutenant and in the group photo in the yearbook from which this was cropped, he has a sword of some kind in his right hand. Grafton was born around 1889 and my guess is that his middle initial stood for Alexander. His Gen 10 Rogers line runs as follows: Alexander Edmund Burt, Stephen G[odfrey] Burt, Rebecca (Macomber) Burt, Abiel Macomber, Josiah, Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. To join the Mayflower Society on this line you will have to prove everything past the birth of Abiel Macomber (Taunton c. 1739), which is in the Rogers silver book. Image from the Taunton High School Journal and Stylus (1907), digitized on the Internet Archive, with help from Everett S. Stackpole's sadly unillustrated Macomber Genealogy (Lewiston, ME: Journal, 1907-1909), p. 30, digitized by the NY Public Library.

CAPRON, LOUISA KIRWAN
Louisa K. (Capron) Thiers (b 1814), a Real Daughter in the DAR, lived to be over 100 and penned a few autobiographical lines on the occasion for publication with her photo in DAR's American Spirit magazine. A "Real Daughter" was a woman whose parent was the Revolutionary War patriot AND she herself had joined. Thus Real Daughters were very old women. As a child Louisa lived in Troy, NY, across the Hudson from Albany. Troy was the easternmost end point of the Erie Canal and the Silicon Valley of the day. She recalled watching the canal being dug near her house, her first canal boat ride, train ride, and steamship ride. She attended Emma Willard's Academy in Troy for an unspecified time. It was one of the top schools for women at the time, if not the top. Louisa's Gen 8 Rogers line runs: Seth Capron, Abigail (Makepeace) Capron, Seth Makepeace, Abigail (Tisdale) Makepeace, Hanna/Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, and Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the marriage of Abigail Makepeace to Elisha Capron and the NEHGS has the birth and marriage of their son Seth. Image and info from "Mrs. Louisa K. Thiers," American Spirit XLVII: 2 (Aug 1915): 62, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

CARY, OTIS
Great-grandson of deacon Recompense Cary, the Hon. Otis Cary (father of Rev. Otis, below) was a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins. His mother, Hannah (Alden) Cary is in Part 3 of the Alden silver book and that directs the reader to her Rogers line via her mother. The newest Rogers book only gets as far as Otis's grandmother, Hannah Williams and her marriage to Samuel Alden. Otis's Rogers line runs as follows: Hannah (Alden) Cary, Hannah (Williams) Alden, Nathaniel Williams, Nathaniel, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower.

CARY, OTIS REV.
Son of the Hon. Otis Cary, above, the Rev. Cary (b 1851 Foxboro, MA) was a missionary to Japan and taught in a seminary there for decades, beginning in the late 1800s. He was living when the book with this photo was published and the author noted he had 4 children then in the U.S., 3 of them (George E., Walter, and Frank) college age. Rev. Otis would be a Gen 9 Rogers descendant (see his father's writeup for the lineage) and a Gen 8/9 Alden-Mullins as well. See his father's writeup in that section for that lineage.

CLAPP, LOUISE
Louise's case for being a Gen 11 Rogers and Alden-Mullins descendant is based on her actually being Emma Louise Clapp, born in Taunton in 1898 to Augustus Clapp & Mary E. Coe. Assuming this is the case, here is the line: Augustus Clapp, Alfred, Alfred, Leonard, John, Mary (Leonard) Clapp, Anna (Tisdale) Leonard, Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. There are vital records on the NEHGS for the alleged Louise's parents, grandparents, and great grandparents but you will have to do better than findagrave to go from Alfred Sr. to Leonard, and Leonard to the John Clapp in the Mayflower Society's Rogers silver book, page 382. See the Alden-Mullins section for speculation on that line. Image (only) from The Journal (Taunton High School, 1917), p. 12, digitized on the Internet Archive.

COLCORD, ABIGAIL ELIZABETH
A Gen. 9 Rogers descendant, Abbie also had Gen. 7 Samson, 8 Standish, and 8/9 Alden-Mullins genes thanks to her paternal grandmother, Mehitable Samson, who is in the 2016 Alden silver book Part 5. Abbie's parents and siblings are in the Samson silver book but she is not because the source cited was the 1860 census, when Abbie had been married for several years to William T. Carson. She is in the 1850 FC for IL, though, age 13 and b. ME. The Rogers book gets only to the birth of Deborah Richmond in Middleborough, MA in 1742. Abbie's Rogers line runs as follows: Samuel Colcord, Mehitable (Samson) Colcord, Deborah (Richmond) Samson, Henry Richmond, Joseph, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower.

COLCORD, AMMI MITCHELL
The Colcord genealogy contains nothing more about Gen 8 Ammi (Ami) than his picture, birth year (1824), and first name among the list of children of Daniel and Mehitable (Sampson) Colcord, and the statement that in 1908 he was living in Bunker Hill, IL. Ammi is written up in part 3 of the Samson silver books, though, along with siblings Jane, Samuel (Sr.), and William Sampson Colcord, all below. Both the Samson book and the 1900 census say that he was born in 1820. In 1820 he was enumerated in Bunker Hill (Macoupin Co., in central IL) with daughters Ada and Eula.

Paternal aunt of Abigail Elizabeth Colcord, above, Jane (Colcord) Clark was a Gen. 8 Rogers, 6 Samson, 7 Standish and 7/8 Alden-Mullins. Her parents' marriage is in the 2016 Alden silver book Part 5 and Jane's birth and marriage are mentioned in Part 3 of the Samson silver book. The author of the volume from which this image was taken says only that the parents were "of Exeter, NH" and that Jane was b. 9 June 1819. However, the Samson book has only her oldest 2 siblings born in Exeter and Jane, the youngest, and 2 older sibs were supposedly born in Yarmouth, ME. I see no source cited for this info, however, so if you are a descendant, please try to verify one or the other. Jane and her siblings Samuel, William, and Otis all wound up in Greenville, IL, so look there. This line runs as follows: Mehitable (Samson) Colcord, Deborah (Richmond) Samson, Henry Richmond, Joseph, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. See her other write-ups for those lineages. Image and info from Doane B. Colcord, Colcord Genealogy, Descendants of Edward Colcord of New Hampshire, 1630 to 1908 (Coudersport, PA: Mahlon J. Colcord, 1908), pp. 52-3, 81, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

COLCORD, OTIS BRIGGS
The book has about as much info on Otis as it does on Ammi. He was born in 1817 or 1818 and died in 1898, depending on which page you read. He also emigrated to Illinois and was known to have married and had one son, also an Otis. Like Ammi, Jane, and Samuel, he was a Gen. 8 Rogers, 6 Samson, 7 Standish, and 7/8 Alden-Mullins. See Jane's writeup for more details. Image and info from Doane B. Colcord, Colcord Genealogy, Descendants of Edward Colcord of New Hampshire, 1630 to 1908 (Coudersport, PA: Mahlon J.

COLCORD, (Rev.) SAMUEL
Son of Samuel and brother of Abigail, above, Rev. Samuel Colcord would be a Gen. 9 Rogers, 8/9 Alden-Mullins, 8 Standish, and 7 Samson. See Abigail Elizabeth Colcord's writeup for the lineage. Born in 1849, according to the family genealogy, he was a minister and in New York City and married Alice Blinn from that area. The author writes of a series of lectures culminating in a famous public debate with an agnostic. It drew a big crowd and may have been covered by the newspapers there in 1895. The book mentions no children but media coverage might mention something about collateral relatives. Image and info from Doane B.

COLCORD, WILLIAM SAMPSON
Brother of Jane and Samuel and uncle of Abigail and the Rev. Samuel (all above), William (b 1815, Exeter, NH) was also a Gen. 8 Rogers, 7 Standish, 6 Samson, and 7/8 Alden-Mullins. See Jane's writeup or more details on William and the line. William was one of the family members who moved to Greenville, IL, so look for his descendants there. Image and info from Doane B.

DORMAN, ORLANDO PORTER
Orlando was a Gen. 9 Rogers descendant via his mother, Juliana (Doane) Dorman. Doane is one of those names found periodically in Mayflower silver books so I pursued that line via vital records and a family history of the Doanes from 1902. The Rogers silver book gets to the birth of Joseph Doane in 1739, then vital records accessed on the NEHGS site filled in the rest, except for grandfather Ebenezer Doane being Joseph's child. Anyone planning to submit this line would need to prove that. Having had no luck on fold3.com with any Revolutionary War pension claim for Joseph, who died in CT in 1831 or for any service, for that matter, on the DAR GRS database, look for a probate record. Possibly because Orlando was 3 generations removed from his Cape Cod roots, the information he provided the compiler of the book from which this photo was taken mentioned his Dorman and Doane immigrant ancestors of the 1630s but not his Mayflower ancestor of 1620. That tells me the family did not know and this is not uncommon for descendants of pilgrims not immortalized in poetry or who held a high position in Plymouth. Orlando's line runs as follows: Juliana (Doane) Dorman, Ebenezer Doane, Joseph Doane, Alice (Higgins) Doane, Elisha Higgins, Elizabeth (Rogers) Higgins, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Mitchell C. Harrison, comp., New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men, vol. 2 (NY: NY Tribune, 1900) p. 109, digitized by the Library of Congress. A better image would be appreciated as this one is tiny and pixellates if I try to enlarge it.

Dring, Caroline Augusta
Daughter of Charles Perry Dring and sister of Charles Humphrey Dring (below), Caroline (b. 1846, Tiverton) was a Generation 9 Rogers and Generations 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant. For more info, see the entry for Charles Perry Dring. Info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 814, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Photograph of image made by me from hard copy edition at the Library of Congress.
Dring, Charles Humphrey
Son of Charles Perry Dring (below) and brother of Caroline Augusta Dring (above), Charles Humphrey Dring (1841-1907) was a Generation 9 Rogers and Generations 9/10 Alden-Mullins descendant. For more information, see Charles Perry Dring. Info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 815, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Photograph of image made by me from hard copy edition at the Library of Congress.
Dring, Charles Perry
Not noted in the book from which this photo comes was Charles P. Dring of Newport's Generation 8 descent from pilgrim Thomas Rogers. The marriage of Elizabeth Pabodie, an Alden granddaughter, to a John Rogers was noted, but the fact that John was a grandson of pilgrim Thomas Rogers was not. Both the Rogers and Alden silver books trace the line as far as the birth of Charles's grandfather, Philip Dring. Assuming the authors were correct about Charles's father being John Dring, and Philip being John's father, then Charles (1808-1891) was a Generation 8 Rogers. The line runs: John Dring, Philip, Sarah (Searle) Dring, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, John Rogers, John, Thomas of the Mayflower. Anyone searching for more pilgrim lineage for Charles might examine the family tree of his mother, Esther Perry. Charles was the father of Charles Humphrey Dring and Caroline Augusta Dring (both above), neither of whom married.

DUNLAP, SAMUEL FALES
Son of Lucy Fales and grandson of Samuel Fales, both below, Samuel was a Gen. 10 Rogers & Chilton, a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins, a and Gen. 9 Bradford & Warren via Samuel Fales's family plus a Gen. 9 Warren twice again via paternal grandmother Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for their Rogers lineage and for more detail overall see the family's write-ups in the Alden-Mullins section. His Bradford, Chilton, and Warren lineages are listed in those sections.

EATON, EPHRAIM LLEWELLYN
When you check the Eaton silver book, you will see that the source for the descendants of Gen 5 Jabez Eaton is this man, the Rev. Ephraim L. Eaton (b 1846) of Wisconsin. Solomon Eaton, below, would be his grandfather's brother. (The births of the two brothers are recorded in the Alden silver book, Part 3, p. 230.) If you wish you join on this line you will still have to document Ephraim's claims beyond the births of Jabez Eaton Jr.'s children noted in the Eaton silver book. Ephraim's Gen 9 Rogers line runs: Almond/Almon Ransom Eaton, Elizabeth (Williams) Eaton, John Williams, Abigail (Makepeace) Williams, Abigail (Tisdale) Makepeace, Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. See the Eaton, Priest, and Alden-Mullins sections of this web site for those lineages.

EATON, OLIVER
Oliver Eaton, son of Solomon, below, was a Gen. 9 Rogers, Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins, Gen. 7 Eaton, and Gen. 8 Priest. He might have an additional Alden-Mullins line through his mother Polly Keith, b. ca. 1779, if you can find her. See Solomon's writeup for the Rogers lineage. The book with the father-son images was rather lax in linking the two Eatons so you will need to get documentation beyond the birth of Solomon. It helps that the Middleboro book identifies Oliver's brother as Solomon K. Eaton, "K." probably standing for "Keith." Image & some info from Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 413, digitized by the Library of Congress.

EATON, SOLOMON
Like his son Oliver, above, niece Sally Edson and her sister's grandson Francis G. Pratt, both below, Solomon is a Rogers descendant (via his mother) and an Eaton, Priest, and Alden-Mullins (through his father.) Since Solomon married a Polly Keith, b. ca. 1779, Oliver may have an additional Alden-Mullins line but you will have to look harder for it than I did. (BTW, the Alden silver book Part 3 is the only one that clues you in about the Rogers link. Moral of the story: ALWAYS read ALL the writeups in ALL the silverbooks with your line.) Solomon was an innkeeper and died in Bridgewater so do not confuse him with the Solomon born the same year who moved to Bowdoin, ME. The other Solomon's father was also an innkeeper in Middleboro but the two Solomons were only distantly related. Solomon's birth is in the Eaton and S. Fuller silver books as Gen. 6 so you need only document from there forward. The Gen. 8 Rogers line runs: Elizabeth (Williams) Eaton, John Williams, Abigail (Makepeace) Williams, Abigail (Tisdale) Makepeace, Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. See the Priest, Eaton, and Alden-Mullins writeups for those lines.

EDSON, SALLY
Sally (Edson) Eddy (1781-1850) should be a Gen 9 Rogers, Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins, Gen 7 Eaton, and Gen 8 Priest descendant. See her Eaton writeup for the full story and that lineage and see her Priest & Rogers writeups for those lines. Her Rogers line would run: Lucy (Eaton) Edson, Elizabeth (Williams) Eaton, John Williams, Abigail (Makepeace) Williams, Abigail (Tisdale) Makepeace, Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. She was the niece of Solomon Eaton, above, thus a first cousin of Oliver Eaton, and her sister Lucy (Edson) Pratt was the grandmother of Francis G. Pratt, below. Image from R. H. Eddy, The Eddy family: Reunion at Providence to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of John and Samuel Eddy at Plymouth, Oct. 29, 1630 (Boston: Cushing, ca. 1880), p. 259, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

FALES, DECOURSEY
Author of the book from which all these Fales images were taken, DeCoursey (Gen. 11 Rogers & Chilton, Gen. 10/11 Alden-Mullins, & Gen. 10 Bradford & Warren) 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. 9 Rogers & Chilton, a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and a Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren on the paternal side and twice again a Gen. 8 Warren through his mother. He was the father and grandfather of Haliburton Fales # 2 and #3, below. See Lucy's writeup and the family's Alden-Mullins listings for more details. Image cropped from 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, cropped from a photograph of a sepia reprint of a 1910 painting by Herman G. Herkomer, 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) for his Gen. 10 Rogers lineage and see the Alden-Mulllins, Bradford, Chilton, and Warren sections for those lineages.

FALES, HALIBURTON #3 (III or Jr.)
Son of Haliburton, Jr. (#2) and grandson of Haliburton, he would be a Gen 11 Rogers plus an Alden-Mullins, Bradford, Chilton, and Warren. 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 and was not made with the same sepia tone as the photos of the family oil paintings. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger here.

This portrait is apparently a photograph, as it is credited as being by Underwood & Underwood, an early stereograph, news photography, and aerial photography firm and was not made with the same sepia tone as the photos of the family oil paintings. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger here. His Rogers line would run: Haliburton Fales #2, Haliburton #1, Samuel, Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom Bradford, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas 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. The hardcover book was photographed by a helpful reader at the LOC to provide a sharper image than the digitized book.
FALES, LUCY ANN CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA
For more on this family, see their write-ups, particularly Lucy's in the Alden-Mullins and Warren sections (one 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. 9 Rogers & Chilton, Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 8 Warren & Bradford via her father's family plus a Gen. 8 Warren two times via her mother. Her Rogers line runs as follows: Samuel Fales, Elizabeth (Bradford) Fales, Daniel Bradford, Gershom, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas of the Mayflower. (For Lucy's other lines see those writeups.) Visually this is an amazing book, with lots of full-length oil portraits of these people in opulent garb. Frustratingly, the book's publisher apparently photographed them in a sepia tone for reprinting in the book. The images here are photos taken at the LOC by a helpful reader directly from the book, for greater resolution than scanning provides. 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 Rogers line is laid out as a chart on page 243 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, also above; Samuel was a Gen 8 Rogers & Chilton descendant, a Gen. 7/8 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 7 Bradford. See Lucy's writeup for the Rogers 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 taken by a reader at the LOC from a printed image 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. 9 Rogers & Chilton, Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren via his father and twice again Gen. 8 Warren 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. Image & info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 128-133, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The picture was photographed from the print version of the book by a generous reader who made the trip to the LOC. If you find a picture of Samuel as a younger man or with a shorter beard, and it's in the public domain, I would be glad to post it here as well.

FLINT, CHARLOTTE HATHAWAY
Charlotte (b 1899) turns out to be a 3rd cousin of Merrill Oscar Wilbur, a high school classmate 6 years her senior, but not a close relative of the Hathaways below. It's a bit tricky because each descends from a child of Leonard & Sally Hathaway of Taunton, each of whom was enumerated with a parent in the 1850 or 1855 censuses with some siblings, but due to marriages, not by name in the same census themselves. Assumedly they are hashmarks together in 1840. Charlotte's 2 Rogers lines run as follows: Gen 12: Charlotte Maria (Hathaway) Flint, Joseph W. Hathaway, Leonard Hathaway, Helen (Walker) Hathaway, Deborah (Gooding) Walker, George Gooding, Abigail (Richmond) Gooding, Joseph Richmond, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. Second, Gen 11: Charlotte Maria (Hathaway) Flint, Joseph W. Hathaway, Leonard Hathaway, Helen (Walker) Hathaway, Peter Walker, Elnathan, Sarah (Richmond) Walker, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas Rogers again. She was an Alden-Mullins descendant on her father's side; see that section for specifics. Charlotte appears not to have married but had a brother 3 years younger, Kendall Hathaway Flint, who did, and who may have left descendants. Image (only) from the Journal (Taunton High School: 1917), p. 18, digitized on the Internet Archive.

FRENCH, JOB BORDEN
There is a bit of guesswork here but I believe that Job B. French was a Gen 9 Rogers and a Gen 9/10 Alden-Mullins via his paternal grandmother, Phoebe Ann (Dwelley) French. She was the third wife of Stephen Leonard French, and according to the book from which this image was taken, was born in 1815 to Daniel and Mary Borden (Slade) Dwelley. That couple turns up in Tiverton, RI records on the NEHGS site, and there appears to have been only one Dwelley family in Tiverton. (Others were in Scituate.) What is confusing is that a Daniel Dwelley "2nd" married a Mary B. Slade in Tiverton in 1813 and a Daniel Dwelley married a Mary Borden in Tiverton in 1796. Were there 2 Daniels? Or did "2d" refer to the marriage? There is only one birth for a Daniel Dwelley in Tiverton, to a Richard and Phoebe in 1790 (thus old enough to marry in 1813) and an earlier Daniel Dwelley of Tiverton married in Dartmouth in 1753 one Bethena Brightman. In the 1700s, "2d" did not necessarily mean a father-and-son relationship. If we assume Richard and Phoebe to be the parents, a Richard was born in 1751 in Tiverton to Joshua Dwelley and Alice/Else Pearce. That is where the Rogers silver book leaves off, with Gen 6 Alice Pearce in an unrecorded marriage to Joshua Dwelley prior to the birth of their son Richard (Gen 7) on 12 May 1751 in Tiverton. If my assumptions are correct, the line would run backwards from Job as: Enoch Judson French, Phoebe Ann (Dwelley) French, Daniel Dwelley, Richard Dwelley, Alice (Pearce) Dwelley, Deborah (Searle) Pearce, Sarah (Rogers) Searle, John, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. (See the Alden-Mullins writeup for that lineage.) Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 531-2, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GIFFORD, L.
On the left is 28-year-old card grinder and bridegroom, L. Gifford of Bristol County, MA and on the right, here he is a few years later as a dairy farmer, Out Standing In His Field (cropped from a photo of his wife & 2 kids.) L. was a Rogers, Alden-Mullins, Doty, Cooke, Brewster, and Warren descendant. Both of his parents were Mayflower descendants. The sepia tone of the photo on the left doesn't show it, but his eyes were blue and he was short. These are the only pictures I've seen of him without snow-white hair. These are scans of scans supplied by one of his relatives so it is NOT for you or anyone else to download. The original owner (only) has the copyright on both. |

GIFFORD, S.
This ring-spinner in a Massachusetts textile factory is 18 and getting married. A relative of L. Gifford, above, she was likewise a Rogers, Cooke, Alden-Mullins, Doty, Brewster, and Warren descendant. It's difficult to tell what her hair color was, given that this was a sepia picture but my guess is light-medium brown. I did meet her and she was also short, blue-eyed, and had snow-white hair in old age. This scan is also owned by a private individual who gave permission for it to be published on this site ONLY. It is not for you or anyone to download.

GOODSPEED, ADIN ISAAC, CLARA BALLOU, LUCY MAUD, & LUTHER GEORGE
These siblings, born 1856, 1858, 1860, and 1863 (respectively) in Massachusetts, were children of George Nutting Goodspeed of Hubbardston and Autantia Ballou, according to the book with these photos. Both women married and their surnames changed to Corey (Clara B.) and Cowee (L. Maud.) They are Gen. 10 Rogers descendants as follows: George Nutting Goodspeed, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac Goodspeed, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both Mayflower pilgrims. There is also a Howland-Tilley line; see that section for the lineage. The Rogers silver book gets to the birth of the 1st Isaac but the Howland silver book part 3 gets as far as the birth of the 2nd Isaac (these siblings' grandfather.) It then says to see the Goodspeed biography for additional descendants (and is a more recent book) so the family biography must be considered reliable. Images & info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, etc. (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 121, 371, 397-8, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

GOODSPEED, ALEXANDER MCLELLAN
A distant cousin of John Calvin Goodspeed and his children, below, attorney Alexander Goodspeed of New Bedford, MA was alive at the time the book containing this image was published. He would be a Gen 9 descendant as follows: Obed Goodspeed, Wally, Joseph, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower. Alexander's paternal grandmother was Silvia/Sylvia Howland, "of Barnstable" when she married in 1784, but I have found no parent info on her yet. John of the Mayflower had brothers who emigrated not long after, so quite a few Howlands in southeastern MA are not his descendants. Alexander reportedly spent some time in "the West" working for a railroad and in Chicago, so if you are a descendant and your research takes you there, it is the same Alexander. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, Being a Genealogical and Narrative Record Extending from 1380 to 1906, and Embracing Material Concerning the Family Collected during Eighteen Years of Research, together with Maps, Plats, Charts, Etc., Vol. 1 (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 121-2, 407, 441-2, 445, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

GOODSPEED, ALICE NEWCOMB
Alice N (b. 1866) is said to have married Rev. W. B. Wiggins in 1900 and left no issue, so if you are looking for her try that name. She was the granddaughter of Benjamin and older sister of Mary L., both below. As such she was a Gen 10 Rogers descendant as follows: Benjamin Newcomb Goodspeed, Benjamin, Thomas, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower.

GOODSPEED, ALMEDA J.
Granddaughter of Benjamin, daughter of Thomas, and sister of Charles Newcomb Goodspeed, all below, Dr. Almeda J. Goodspeed should be a Gen. 10 Rogers as follows: Thomas Goodspeed, Benjamin, Thomas, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, son and father, Mayflower passengers. Born 1860 in York Co, NB, Almeda went to Boston to study nursing, apparently, for 2 years, though the author of the book did not so specify but he mentions she was employed as a nurse. Later she took another 2-year course at the college of osteopathy in Kirksville, MO, graduating in 1901 with a "diploma" and relocated to Chicago "for the practice of her profession." The photo caption refers to her as "Dr." so apparently 4 years of post-high school training were enough to be a doctor in 1901. She had not married as of the date of the book's publication but you may be able to find other photos of her in nursing and medical school yearbooks and Chicago medical professional publications.

GOODSPEED, BENJAMIN
The birth of Benjamin's grandfather Thomas is in the Rogers silver book. The family may have lived in New Brunswick; the book from which this image and that of brother Calvin Luther Goodspeed, below, gives names and dates but the clan's last known whereabouts are his father dying in York Co, NB in 1848 & prior to that his grandfather's birth in Barnstable, MA in 1721. You will have to trace the intervening generations and New Brunswick genealogy is tough. Good luck. So, assuming the Goodspeed book is correct, Benjamin's Gen 8 line runs: Thomas Goodspeed, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower.

GOODSPEED, CALVIN LUTHER
Brother of Benjamin, above and uncle of John Calvin, below, he was also a Gen. 8 Rogers descendant. See Benjamin's writeup for the line. The plethora of their descendants with the middle name "Newcomb" stems from the fact that their mother was Lois (Newcomb) Goodspeed.

Son of Benjamin Newcomb Goodspeed, grandson of Benjamin, nephew of Thomas and John Calvin, and first cousin of Alice Newcomb, Almeda J., Charles Newcomb, and Mary Lois on this page, Clarence Newcomb Goodspeed (b 1868) was a Gen 10 Rogers. The line ran: Benjamin Newcomb Goodspeed, Benjamin, Thomas, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower.

Son of Benjamin Newcomb Goodspeed, grandson of Benjamin, nephew of Thomas and John Calvin, and first cousin of Alice Newcomb, Almeda J., Charles Newcomb, and Mary Lois on this page, Clarence Newcomb Goodspeed (b 1868) was a Gen 10 Rogers. The line ran: Benjamin Newcomb Goodspeed, Benjamin, Thomas, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower. He married, and as of the publication date had three children (b 1898, 1899, & 1900), all daughters, so look for non-Godspeed surnames in this line.

GOODSPEED, FLORENCE ANTOINETTE
Another descendant of Hannah, she is a distant cousin of all the Goodspeeds on this page. Born in 1870 so roughly age 35-37 in this photo, she married a Mr. Greene and they lived in RI, so look for descendants by that name there. Her paternal grandmother had the surname Winslow, so that line is worth a look but is unlikely since they lived in Newport, close by Freetown, MA home of many descendants of Edward Winslow's brother Kenelm. Florence's Gen 10 Rogers line runs as follows: Charles Edward Goodspeed, Robert, Solomon, Joseph, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower.

GOODSPEED, GEORGE NUTTING; HARRISON PARKER; & HENRY CLAY
These three are brothers (George N. b 1826; Harrison P. b 1830; Henry C. b 1832, all in Hubbardston, MA) and George is the father of the 4 siblings above: Adin, Clara, Lucy, and Luther Goodspeed. George and Harrison lived close to each other and worked together manufacturing various metal products, a business that Adin and Luther later took over; Henry C. took over the father's farm. All this info is from the book with the photos. It looks like only George left children, if you are tracing a Goodspeed line. The longer an ancestor stayed in MA, though, the easier it is to find their VRs. See the 4 siblings above for this Gen. 9 Rogers lineage and see their Howland-Tilley writeup for that one. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, etc. (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 121, 359, 371, 397-8, 400, 403, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library. |

GOODSPEED, JOHN CALVIN & children (l to r: JUDSON M., LOIS ALBINA, & GEORGE L.)
I'm not sure there could be a worse book than this one for prospecting for Mayflower descendants and then matching names with images. If anyone can get a paper copy of this book and make me a sharper scan, I will be glad to replace this one. According to the book, John C. Goodspeed (son of Benjamin, above) was born in 1837, married Susan Jane Brown (in the picture) in 1859, and had 5 children. This image must date to about 1870-72, age 33-35 for John C. and ages 9-11, 4-6, and 1-3 for the kids, assuming these are the 1st 3 children. Their Gen. 9/10 Rogers lineage runs: Benjamin Goodspeed, Thomas, Thomas, Hannah (Phinney) Goodspeed, John Phinney, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower. The birth of the older Thomas Goodspeed is recorded in the Rogers silver book and I stopped there, so you will need to confirm and document everything from there on down. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, Being a Genealogical and Narrative Record Extending from 1380 to 1906, and Embracing Material Concerning the Family Collected during Eighteen Years of Research, together with Maps, Plats, Charts, Etc., Vol. 1 (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 121, 347, 391, 392, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

She was the granddaughter of Benjamin and younger sister of Alice, above.

HALL, FRED ELBRIDGE and ELLA FRANCES
There seems to be confusion about the genealogy of the Richmonds of Taunton, MA, though not with descendant Fred E. Hall (b. 1874) of Cambridge, MA and then Providence, RI, specifically, but since he and sister Ella (right, b Boston 1859) appeared on the scene long after the last Richmond mentioned in the Rogers silver book (Henry Jr., born circa 1726) be prepared to face tight scrutiny when submitting this line to a family society. This Gen 11 line is described in a history of Peru, Oxford Co., ME, and runs as follows, beginning with Fred's father: Elbridge Gerry Hall, Sarah (Richmond) Hall, Israel Richmond, Eliab, Henry Jr., Henry, Joseph, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. Fred was the younger brother of Ella Frances (Hall) Noera of Connecticut and uncle of her three Noera children on this page.

HARLAND, EDWARD
General Edward Harland (b. 1832, Norwich, CT) 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 either missed Thomas Rogers or the family had forgotten those genes in 285 years.) 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 Rogers and Alden Silver Book gets only as far as the birth of her father. His marriage to Phoebe Coggeshall and daughter Elizabeth's birth is in the Bradford book. Elizabeth married a Daniel Leffingwell, giving rise to a run of three women with "Leffingwell" in theirs, probably not a coincidence and helpful if you are short on vital records. Thus Bradford turns out to be your best bet, and it's a good thing William is not the Pilgrim who was forgotten. Moving backwards, we see that Gen. Harland's Rogers line is: Abigail Leffingwell (Hyde) Harland, Sarah Russell (Leffingwell) Hyde, Elizabeth (Whiting) Leffingwell, John Whiting, Elizabeth (Bradford) Whiting, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas of the Mayflower. See Edward's Bradford and Alden-Mullins 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.

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 9 descendant of Thomas Rogers and a Generation 8 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren. 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 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers and a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren. 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 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers and a Generation 9 descendant of William Bradford, Francis Cooke, and Richard Warren. 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 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers and a Generation 9 descendant of Richard Warren, William Bradford, and Francis Cooke. 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. On his mother's side Gilbert was a Generation 8 descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers and a Generation 7 Bradford descendant (via second wife Alice (Carpenter) (Southworth) Bradford). He was a Generation 7 descendant of both Richard Warren and Francis Cooke 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, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 8. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
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 10 descendant of Thomas Rogers and a Generation 9 descendant of Richard Warren, William Bradford, and Francis Cooke. Image from Charles F. Hathaway, Tribe Hathaway: Descendants of Thomas Hathaway and His Wife Molly Gilbert (NY: 1909), p. 20. Digitized by the Library of Congress.
HUDSON, A.
These two pictures, I believe, are of the same woman, a relative of mine who would be a Gen. 9 Rogers, 9 Warren, and 10 Brewster, through her maternal ancestors who were Gibbses of Cape Cod. She should be a first cousin of H. Bumpus, above. These images come from a scan of a scan of some loose photos owned by a relative on that side of the family who did not label everything and is now deceased. As an older woman (ca 40), the full-length shot (cropped, on your left) shows the subject to have been large and the head shot on the right appears similar. The features and coloring look the same to me, also. The picture of the young woman, if I have identified her correctly, was probably a wedding photo, thus taken in 1867 when she was 22. I am basing the identification on who else was in the full-length picture with her, the period clothing, and the fact that it was an outdoor, rather than a studio, photo. If anyone in my family (or hers) has a better guess, please let me know. Please note, these images may not be downloaded and reposted anywhere. |

IRISH - ABAGAIL, ADALINE, ELIZABETH, MARTHA, MARY GORHAM, REBECCA CHADBOURNE, SOPHRONIA
Rather than cut this team apart and attempt to make the bottom two sisters straight, I will just print the collage. As individuals, they are (beginning with the lefthand column, top to bottom: Sophronia b 1799, Abagail, b. 1806, Rebecca C., b 1817, then in the middle column: Mary Gorham, b. 1801 and the women's mother Rebecca, then the righthand column, top down: Adaline, b. 1810, Martha, b. 1808, and Elizabeth, b 1819. All were born in Gotham, ME. They are Gen 8 descendants of Thomas Rogers, as follows: James Irish, Mary Gorham (Phinney) Irish, John Phinney, John, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the birth of their grandmother Mary. Images and info from Lyndon Oak, A Sketch of the Life of General James Irish of Gotham, Maine 1776-1863 (Boston: Lee & Shepard, 1898), pp. 10, 58, 59-70, digitized by the Library of Congress.

IRISH - FRANCIS OSGOOD, ISAAC CHADBOURNE, [GEN.] JAMES, JAMES HENRY, MARSHALL, THADDEUS POMROY
The older man in the center and the single image on the right are both General James Irish, the central character in this family genealogy. He was the father of the seven Irish women above and husband of the woman in the center, Rebecca (Chadbourne) Irish. James was born in 1776 and died in 1863. His sons, starting with the trio above him, left to right, are Isaac (1803-1887), Marshall (1814-1885), and Francis (1812-1894). The two below Gen. James, left to right, are Thaddeus (b. 1824 and James H. (1823-1846). Based on the book with the pictures, all the children were born in or near Gorham, ME and those whose deaths were noted died in Maine except for Francis, who died in Brooklyn. Other than young James H., all married and had lots of children. Like their sisters, the men are Gen 8 descendants of Thomas Rogers: James Irish, Mary Gorham (Phinney) Irish, John Phinney, John, Mary (Rogers) Phinney, Joseph Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the birth of their grandmother Mary. The father would be Gen. 7.

KINGMAN, ABEL WILLARD
If you read this before 2.14.2019 you saw my lamentation about the image quality. The older-looking, scotch-taped edition on Internet Archive has an Allen Co digitization with images far superior to the Boston Public Library version. This much-better-looking Abel, born in 1838, was a Generation 9 Rogers descendant, as follows, through his mother: Clarissa (Alden) Kingman, Williams Alden, Hannah (Williams) Alden, Nathaniel Williams, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, pilgrim Thomas. Clarissa's father "Williams Alden" is listed in volume 3 of the Alden silver book set, which reveals his mother (the Williams) to be a Generation 6 Rogers. However, the Rogers book gets to Hannah Williams's birth, then has a marriage date but neglects to mention it was to an Alden. This is another example of why you always want to look up each generation of each line for your ancestor, to find the many things that are mentioned in one silver book but not in another. l Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 9 of the Biographical section at the very back, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library. [Note: There is another image in Kingman's History of North Bridgewater. There Dr. Kingman appears to have wavy gray hair.]

KINGMAN, HOSEA
His closest relative on this page is actually first cousin Nathan Washburn, below. They share grandparents Cyrus Washburn and Betsey Bump (Bumpus). Hosea is only very distantly related to Abel Kingman, above. Like Nathan Washburn, Hosea was a Gen 10 Rogers & Cooke descendant and a Gen 9 Samson descendant but on his mother's side AND he was also a Gen 10 Cooke on his father's side. For more details see his Cooke writeup.

NOERA, EDITH FRANCES EMMA, FLORENCE ANNA, & HAZEL HALL
These three sisters, left to right in alpha order, are all daughters of Ella Frances (Hall) Noera, above, next to her brother Fred Elbridge Hall. Oldest daughter Florence (b 1882, Cambridge, MA, center photo above) is stated by the author of the book with this photo to have been a graduate of Wellesley College in 1903 and I did find her name in the Wellesley yearbook, Legenda (back issues available for download, courtesy of the university at https://repository.wellesley.edu. However, there was no photo. The same book stated that another sister, Ernestine Chester Noera (b. 1885) graduated but I found no mention of her in Legenda. Next in age order was Edith (top left, b. 1894 in Waterbury, CT), and on the right was the youngest, Hazel, also b. Waterbury, in 1897. The sisters would all be Gen 12 Rogers descendants. See their uncle & mother's writeup above for the lineage specifics.

Peirce, Mary (from a Cephas Thompson portrait circa 1805, age 28)
The mother of this Generation 7 Rogers descendant, Mary (Peirce) Leonard, appears in the Rogers silver book as Elizabeth Rounseville, daughter of Elizabeth (Macomber) Rounseville. Her mother, in turn, was Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, and her grandmother Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, granddaughter of pilgrim Thomas Rogers. Mary, later the wife of Capt. Job Peirce of Middleboro, was the aunt of the compiler of the book from which this photo came and also the mother-in-law of the Middleboro painter who created the portrait.

PHINNEY, MARY GORHAM
She was the first child born to the immigrants from Cape Cod to Gorham, ME, in 1736. Two more siblings followed. Despite the name, she was not a Howland descendant, nor was she a Doty, as claimed in the Phinney family genealogy book. Her birth is in the Rogers silver book. Mary was the grandmother of the 7 Irish sisters in the group photo above. Mary's image I am guessing was made during her lifetime, as it has that homemade look about it. She died in 1825, before the advent of photography, and there was no physical description of her in the book with this image so we are lucky to have this much. Image and info from Lyndon Oak, A Sketch of the Life of General James Irish of Gotham, Maine 1776-1863 (Boston: Lee & Shepard, 1898), pp. 10, 38, digitized by the Library of Congress.

PITTS, EVA
This photo, probably taken between 1884 and 1895, depicts an Eva Pitts wearing a veil, as was customary for well-dressed women of her era. She was the sister of Helen Pitts Douglass, below, therefore also a Generation 9 Rogers descendant. (The sisters were also Alden-Mullins and Warren descendants; see those write-ups for those lines.) All the lines were through their grandfather Gideon Pitts of Dighton, MA and Honeoye, NY. Her Gen 9/10 line runs: Gideon Pitts, Gideon, Abigail (Richmond) Pitts, William Richmond, Elizabeth (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower.

PRATT, FRANCIS GREENLEAF, JR.
On his paternal grandmother's side, Francis (1850-1894) was a Rogers, Priest, Eaton, and Alden-Mullins descendant and a fairly close relative of Oliver & Solomon Eaton, above. Sally Edson, also above, niece of Solomon Eaton, was likely Francis's grandmother's sister. Francis worked in publishing and was a personal acquaintance of the author of the book with this photo, a history of their church in Middleborough, MA. He also turned out to be a distant cousin - see Thomas Weston's writeup below. On his father's side Francis was also a Warren & Allerton plus a Billington & Hopkins through his mother. (See those other sections for the lineages.) Beginning with his father, Francis's Gen 11 Rogers line runs: Francis Greenleaf Pratt Sr., Lucy (Edson) Pratt, Lucy (Eaton) Edson, Elizabeth (Williams) Eaton, John Williams, Abigail (Makepeace) Williams, Abigail (Tisdale) Makepeace, Anna (Rogers) Tisdale, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. Most of the lineage data used came from the vital records and some probate records on the NEHGS but the image & a little biographical data came from Thomas Weston, Two Hundredth Anniversary of the First Congregational Church of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Middleboro: 1st Congregational Church, 1895), pp. 92, 120, 126, digitized by the Library of Congress.

RICHMOND, JOSHUA BAILEY
Joshua researched and wrote the 676-page history of the Richmond clan and this photo graces the frontispiece. He looks either relieved to be done or proud of having identified three Mayflower lines: Rogers, Alden, and Mullins. Joshua's Gen 9 Rogers line runs as follows: Isaac Bailey Richmond, Joshua, Joshua, Perez, Elizabeth (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. That makes him a third cousin of the Pitts sisters, above. See his Alden-Mullins writeup for that Gen 9/10 lineage. Image from Joshua Bailey Richmond, The Richmond Family 1594-1896 and Pre-American Ancestors 1040-1594 (Boston: author, 1897), frontispiece, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

RICHMOND, LUCIUS
His great grandparents, Stephen Richmond and Hannah Beals of Middleborough, are Generation 6 in the new Rogers silver book. Their daughter Silence Richmond married an Apollos Richmond of the same town. (Apollos's father Job and 4 of Job's siblings are unconfirmed children of Henry Richmond, a Gen. 5 Rogers.) silence and Apollos had a son, Philo W. Richmond, who married fellow Middleborough resident Abigail Briggs Washburn and produced Lucius, on your left, Abigail was the daughter of Abiel Washburn (originally of Plymouth) and Abigail "Nabby" Briggs but there were several contemporary Abiel Washburns and Abigail Briggs. These lines are worth checking. All of this information is found in the NEHGS database. Lucius was a captain in Co. I of the 1st MA Infantry during the Civil War so you might find more images of him by researching the history of his unit. The Rogers book reveals no other Mayflower lines in Lucius's background. Image from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 109, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
The Richmond family genealogy done by distant cousin Joshua Bailey Richmond, above, does claim that Job was the son of Henry on p. 24 of his book, but without proof satisfactory to the GSMD you cannot join the Mayflower Society on Lucius' paternal line. His provable maternal line, Gen 9, runs: Philo W. Richmond, Silence (Richmond) Richmond, Stephen, Stephen, John, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. Per the Rogers silver book (2d ed., 2013, pp. 424-6) the five questionable siblings are apparently related to each other but nothing links them to their alleged parents or to the siblings documented in probate and land records as being bona fide children. Author Joshua wrote "perhaps" next to another supposed sibling, Eliab. If you have the Henry & Mehitable (Caswell) Richmond family bible, now would be a good time to share.

RICHMOND, SILAS PIERCE
The Richmond genealogy published by distant cousin Joshua Bailey Richmond, above, makes some statements that the GSMD does not currently support, such as that Thomas Richmond's mother's maiden name was also Richmond, so use it with a grain of salt. NEHGS VRs show Col. Silas P. Richmond was the son of Isaac, grandson of Samuel, and through either a Samuel or Thomas, a descendant of Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, a Gen 3 descendant. Putting the Rogers silver book (which gets to the marriage of Thomas & Mary Dodson), the NEHGS's VRs online, and The Richmond Family 1594-1896 and Pre-American Ancestors 1040-1594 (Boston: author, 1897) together you get the following Gen 9 line for Silas: Isaac, Samuel, Thomas, Samuel, Samuel, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. (Beware of the typos in the Rogers silver book, pp. 438-44, listing the father of Samuel, Oliver, Hannah, Lydia, Silas, and Mehitable as "Edward" instead of Samuel. The immediately preceding pages cover the children of Edward.) There is a sharper image of the photo on the left on findagrave; this one is from John G. Gammons, The Third Massachusetts Regiment Volunteer Militia in the War of the Rebellion 1861-1863 (Providence: Snow & Farnham, 1906), p. 59, digitized by the New York Public Libraries. Yes, the War of the Rebellion lasted until 1865 but this unit was reorganized and its soldiers reassigned, 15 of them (including the author) to Co. F, 3rd MA Heavy Artillery. There are photos of that unit at the war's end in the LOC's Prints and Photographs division's Civil War collection but Silas was not in that organization. The photo on the right is from the New Bedford Free Public Library, Main Library, room 309, cabinet U07, shelf SH09, container BX09:F004, digitized by Digital Commonwealth. |

ROGERS, PUBLIUS V.
He was said to be a lineal descendant of Thomas Rogers via a "Capt. James Rogers, a vigorous Indian fighter" who moved to Londonderry, NH (from ??), where the family resided for several generations. A search of the NEHGS site reveals an Ensign James Rogers in Derry during the French & Indian War, and a James and Margaret who had a James and David there in the 1760s. Revolutionary War pension claims of NH vets mention service under a Capt. James Rogers. A James Rogers, "'a reputable, honest, and industrious farmer'" dies there in 1798, his estate's executor a Thomas Rogers. In 1760 James Rogers of Derry, "gentleman" was sued over an estate he was administering. To have done these things James the Indian fighter would have to have been born 1720-30ish, possibly recently enough to appear in the Rogers Silver Book. The only James who "works" is a Gen. 6 James, b. Eastham, MA 1732 to James Rogers and Hannah Godfrey. If that is him, Capt. James's mother Hannah was a Gen. 6 Brewster descendant (via her mother Mercy (Mayo) Godfrey) and his paternal great-grandmother Mary (Paine) Rogers was a Gen 4 Hopkins descendant via her mother Mary (Snow) Paine. We are missing a few generations between Capt. James and Publius's father Ralph Rogers, M.D., a native of Acworth, NH, but as Publius was born in 1824 let us assume he is a grandson of Capt. James's sons James, David, or some other unspecified son, perhaps the executor Thomas Rogers. There are a lot of "ifs" in this speculation, but they bring us to Publius being a Generation 9 Rogers, Brewster, and Hopkins. (If you are a male and a direct line descendant of Publius, sign up for a Rogers DNA test. If you are a female and a descendant of Capt. James, joining the DAR will document his lineage, at least to an extent.) Publius was also said to be an Alden/Mullins via "a grandmother" but with no name, that story will have to wait. Photo and some info from Daniel E. Wager, ed., Our County and Its People, a Descriptive Work on Oneida County, New York (The Boston History Company, 1896), pp. 50, 362, part I.

SHEDD, HAROLD W.
Shown in the uniform of a lieutenant in the Taunton High School corps of cadets, Class of 1907, Harold (b. 1890) was a multiple Mayflower descendant thanks to his mother. (See the Eaton, S. Fuller, and Billington sections for those lineages. The Billington writeup has more detail and a second photo.) Harold's Gen 10 Rogers line runs: Annie Leonora (Macomber) Shedd, Joseph Leonard Macomber Jr., Joseph Leonard Sr., Philip, Linthe/Lintha (Macomber) Macomber, Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the marriage of Linthe/Lintha Macomber to Stephen Macomber Jr. All the genealogical info was found on the New England Historic and Genealogical Society (NEHGS)'s site, American Ancestors. Cropped image from the Taunton High School Journal and Stylus (1907), p. 14, digitized on the Internet Archive.

Snow, George Granville
George is a Generation 10 Rogers and Brewster descendant, also both Generation 9 & 10 Hopkins, likely more as his grandfather, Maj. Joel Snow, married one of the many Phebe Snows, this one daughter of Joseph and Susannah (Horton) Snow. (Stephen Hopkins's daughter Constance married immigrant Nicholas Snow, who came to New England on the Anne in 1623, so if Snow is one of your family names, check for Hopkins lineage.) The Rogers, Brewster, and second Hopkins line are due to the marriage of great-great grandfather Jesse Snow to Lois Freeman, daughter of Lois Paine [daughter of Nicholas Paine (Gen 4 Hopkins) and Hannah Higgins (Gen 4 Rogers)] and Edmund Freeman (Gen 5 Brewster). His Hopkins lineage gets to Generation 6 in the Silver Book, great-grandfather Edmund Snow, b. 1752. Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 209, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Soule, Lawrence Porter
Perhaps not surprisingly in a brief bio of someone with 9 Mayflower families in his lineage, one maiden name was overlooked, that of Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, six generations back. Lawrence Soule was a Generation 9 descendant of Thomas Rogers via great-grandmother Ruth (Bradford) Sampson, granddaughter of Hannah. Ruth's father Gamaliel Bradford appears as a Generation 5 descendant in the Rogers Silver Book. Lawrence's other Mayflower lines include Soule and Sampson (twice) in Generation 7; Bradford and Alden in Generation 8; Mullins, Brewster, and Warren in Generation 9.

STACKPOLE, EVERETT BIRNEY
See the writeup of his father, Everett Schermerhorn Stackpole, below, for details. Capt. Stackpole, b. 1879 in ME, served during WWI first in the Canadian military (1914-15) then in combat for the US (1915-18.) He served another 2 years and was a colonel in the PA National Guard. I looked for a WWI draft card, which would have had a physical description, but found none. He should be 35-41 years old here. Everett would be a Gen. 9 Rogers, Eaton, and S. Fuller descendant, and a Gen. 10 Billington. Image and info from Everett S. Stackpole, History and Genealogy of the Stackpole Family, 2d ed.

STACKPOLE, EVERETT SCHERMERHORN
Teacher, minister, and prolific genealogical/historical writer, Everett was also a Gen. 8 Thomas Rogers descendent and a Gen. 8 Eaton & Samuel Fuller and Gen 9 Billington descendant as well. (See those sections for the lineages.) His image is in more than one book but his history of Durham, ME and his Stackpole family genealogy give the necessary details on his own ancestors. Everett's Rogers line runs: Eliza (Macomber) Stackpole, Elijah Macomber, Joseph Macomber, Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John and his father Thomas Rogers, both of the Mayflower. The Rogers, Samuel Fuller, and Eaton Silver Books take the line to the birth of his paternal grandfather, Elijah Macomber, who died (1849), the year before Everett was born. Presumably his mother was able to provide the remaining details. The censuses enumerate the heads of these households but the vital records of Durham are not on the NEHGS. If you wish to prove ancestry on this line you will need to get additional proof to augment the book. Since Everett was born in 1850 and his Durham, ME book was published in 1899 he was no older than 49 in this picture (which he also used in his 1920 2nd edition family genealogy.)

Vital, census, and/or probate records for Clara, her parents, grandparents, and beyond are online at americanancestors.org (the New England Historic Genealogical Society, or NEHGS) and the birth of her grandfather Thomas Dennis Standish, below, is in two Mayflower Society silver books the NEHGS also digitized as a joint project. She was born in Dighton, Bristol Co, MA in 1882 and by 1899 was class valedictorian at Taunton High School, at a time when it was an accomplishment to complete 8th grade. Her Gen 10 Rogers line runs: James C. Standish, Thomas, Deborah (Gooding) Standish, Rebecca (Macomber) Gooding, Josiah Macomber, Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower.

STANDISH, THOMAS DENNIS
The original info posted on Mayflowerfaces.com about shipwright Thomas in Jan. 2014 was stated to be suspect because the author (Hurd) inserted a nonexistent Standish and admitted to guessing at the middle bits. Consequently Thomas was linked to the wrong father David, missing his mother, a Rogers descendant. In the course of creating a writeup for his granddaughter Clara May Standish (above) in Aug. 2019, I was able to correct this. Thomas's Gen 8 Rogers line runs: Deborah (Gooding) Standish, Rebecca (Macomber) Gooding, Josiah Macomber, Elizabeth (Williams) Macomber, Elizabeth (Rogers) Williams, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. See his Standish, Soule, and Rogers write-ups in those sections.Image & bad info (so ignore it), from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Bristol County (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1883), p. 266, digitized by the Library of Congress. Correct info on Thomas from the Standish & Doty silver books, and from his vital records, which are are all online on americanancestors.org (aka the NEHGS).

Taber, Amy
Born in 1773, Amy Taber had memories of Washington's troops in her neighborhood. Her marriage to Benjamin Shove in Oblong, NY united two transplanted Bristol County, MA Quaker families and inspired her grandson's book. Amy was a Generation 7 Rogers descendant and a Generation 6/7 Alden-Mullins. All three lines she could credit to her mother, Anna Theresa (Pierce) Taber. Anna Theresa ("Antrace") and parents can be found in the Rogers Silver Book, parents alone in the Alden Silver Book.

A great-nephew of Amy Taber, above, Stephen served as U.S. Representative from New York during the Civil War years, when this photo was taken. He was a grandson of her brother William, a judge, and son of Thomas II, who also served in the U.S. Congress. (A photo would be appreciated.) Like his great aunt he is an Alden-Mullins and Rogers descendant (Generations 8, 9, and 9). Due to his grandfather William's second marriage to Hannah White, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Cadman) White, Stephen is also a Generation 7 descendant of Francis Cooke, Richard Warren, and pilgrim William White.

Washburn, Nathan
Nathan is a Generation 10 Rogers & Cooke descendant, Generation 9 Samson descendant on his father's side, with other lines on his mother's side (see below.) The Samson Silver Book, part 2, takes his line the farthest, to the marriage of his grandparents Cyrus Washburn and Betsey Bump, Generation 7 (Cyrus.) (For Bumpus/Bump/Bumpas/Bompasse genealogy, see http://bumpusgenealogy.org/, by Paul and Stephen Bumpus.) His Rogers line runs as follows: Bradford Sumner Washburn, Cyrus, Luther, Amos, Elizabeth (Richmond) Washburn, Ebenezer Richmond, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John, Thomas Rogers the Pilgrim. The Rogers and Cooke volumes extend through the birth of Amos.
On his mother's side, his is a Generation 10 Warren descendant and Generation 9 but things get murky around Generations 5 & 6 as it is not clear which Holmes of Plymouth that Elizabeth Sturtevant (Harlow) Washburn descended from. Nathan may have several more Mayflower lines -- or not, as this book, like most family/area genealogies, does have its errors. Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 190, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

WELLMAN, ARTHUR HOLBROOK
Publisher of a Wellman family genealogy written by his father Joshua Wyman Wellman, Arthur Holbrook Wellman (b 1855) was a Gen 11 Rogers plus an Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and triple Bradford descendant. (See those sections for his lineages.) His Rogers line is maternal and runs: Ellen Maria (Holbrook) Wellman, Prudence (Durfee) Holbrook, Wealthy (Hathaway) Durfee, Gilbert Hathaway, Wealthy (Gilbert) Hathaway, Hannah (Bradford) Gilbert, Hannah (Rogers) Bradford, John Rogers, John, Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower. The Rogers silver book gets as far as the marriage of Wealthy Gilbert to Ebenezer Hathaway and Bradford silver book continues to the birth of son Gilbert Hathaway. 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. Image and info from Joshua Wyman Wellman, Descendants of Thomas Wellman of Lynn, Massachusetts (Boston: Arthur Holbrook Wellman, 1918), 366-62, 472, digitized by Boston Public Libraries.

WILBUR, MERRILL OSCAR
A descendant of Thomas Rogers and Peter Brown/Browne, Merrill was vice president of the Class of 1911 at Taunton High School, whose yearbook contained this image. Early yearbooks contain almost no personal info, but Bristol Co, MA has many vital records plus probate records digitized on the New England Historic Genealogical Society's (NEHGS) AmericanAncestors.org web site. That had all the data needed to connect Merrill to his Brown line and one Rogers line, then findagrave had good clues for his other two Rogers lines (but mistakenly says Peter Walker was "endorsed by" the GSMD as a Gen 5 descendant, which is not true.) Merrill's Rogers lines all run through his mother as follows: 1, Gen 11) Addie A. (Elmes) Wilbur, Hiram Elmes, Royal, Chloe (Leonard) Elmes, Mary (Richmond) Leonard, Josiah Richmond, Edward, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. 2, Gen 12: Addie A. (Elmes) Wilbur, Sally B. (Hathaway) Elmes, Leonard Hathaway, Helen (Walker) Hathaway, Deborah (Gooding) Walker, George Gooding, Abigail (Richmond) Gooding, Joseph Richmond, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. 3, Gen 11: Addie A. (Elmes) Wilbur, Sally B. (Hathaway) Elmes, Leonard Hathaway, Helen (Walker) Hathaway, Peter Walker, Elnathan, Sarah (Richmond) Walker, Abigail (Rogers) Richmond, John Rogers, Thomas of the Mayflower. See his Brown writeup for that line. Image from the Taunton High School Journal, Class of 1911, p. 8, digitized on the Internet Archive.
