I seen the comment that you left on Tucker-288 I uploaded pictures from the The Descendants of William Tucker from Throwleigh Devon onto that page and am going to try and work that line of the Tuckers using the book. He did marry Anne Proude according to that book. There’s also a part in the book that states this” Claims have been made that this JOHN TUCKER migrated to Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1636, and afterwards settled inHingham of that colony. These claims have been disproved. DR. RUFUS STICKNEY TUCKER'S research proves that this JOHN TUCKER still resided in England in 1636 and for a good time afterwards." The other profile now states that he isn’t the same person.Not sure if you’re still looking or working that line or not anymore. By the way, we’re 8th cousins once removed, through Hannah Briggs Brockway. Mine line is straight Brockway, then marries a Tucker and then my dad married a Tucker lol

I hope this message finds you in good health and better spirits. Have you considered testing your mtDNA at Family Tree? I am early in my DNA research and have found it challenging to wrap my arms around it. You are the first DNA tested link I've found to the end of my maternal line, which is the line I devote nearly all of my energies to. Unfortunately, as you probably know, the maternal line hits a brick wall at Mary Roe (Roe-41). Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,John

EDIT: I see we are also related through Richard Warren.

While I've thought about having my mtDNA tested, it hasn't been a priority (and I haven't had a place for it in my budget, which is tight). But I'm intrigued by your inquiry. My own maternal-side tree should – assuming no unreported out-of-wedlock births! – run back via a different route from yours, through my Jones grandmother, < her (German) Knauth mother, < that mother's mother, Fanny Elizabeth Steyer, < and her mother, born Albertine Fels. That's as far as I've taken it; I do speak some German, but the old German records are a real headache – assuming one can find them in the first place – as the script can be challenging, and the archaic language is often above my pay grade.

At some point I think I'd seen the Brainerd < Dudley < Roe end of your maternal line but had not attempted any research further back. I'm happy to look into it when I get a moment.

According to WikiTree's Relationship Finder, we seem to have a virtual raft of common ancestors (164 of them), going 'way back... that's a fairly impressive array!

Let me see if I can do anything with Ms. Roe – though I suspect you've likely combed through all readily-accessible records by now. If I do find anything remotely interesting, I'll send word ASAP.

Cheers, Christopher

I have only just learned about the Southwicks, and am engrossed and appalled. My link to them is through the Hutchins, known to me for some time.

I am inspired to look into my Sawyer family's move from Lancaster to Connecticut, then up the Connecticut River to Vermont. I was never told about this specifically (like many, I waited for both parents' deaths before investigating!) but I assume they were not fervent Puritans.

My maternal grandmother was adopted by Mayflower descendants--she was the abandoned daughter of a domestic servant in their family. The father of my cousin, however, was descended from Alden and Mullins.

Perhaps it was sour grapes, but I know my Puritan family always felt superior to the rebellious Pilgrims...

Best,Margaret Shirley

What we don't know (because we don't have exact dates) is whether she left Nathaniel Sylvester's house before or after the Southwicks' deaths. Whether or no, it seems reasonable to me -- though it is clearly conjectural -- to think that their plight, and/or their deaths, my have weighed in her decision to return to Boston and confront Endecott one more time. In my imagining, I can envision that she might well have been more greatly angered by Endecott's treatment of the older couple than by his harshness toward her. But, again, we do not actually know the details.

What we do know is that my maternal and paternal Quaker ancestors met and, to whatever degree, got to know each other... 270 years before my parents met... in Boston. And I find this early connection both rather striking, and heartwarming.

More later....

Cheers, Christopher

Jean Barto here. I checked things on my end and revised the birthdate, marriage info, and death location for the William Williams profile (Williams-56194) we discussed last week. I have Zilpah Wilder as the only wife for William Williams. Please continue to do what you are doing on the profile. Are you certain about the parents for Williams-56194? I looked at William Williams/Miriam Tyler but did not revise anything. I have the same in my tree on Ancestry and on my iMac, but with our previous discussions I wonder if it is accurate. I hope my reaching out again today is helpful.

Thanks for contributing to Puritan Great Migration profiles over the last six months. Every little bit helps, so please keep those edits coming!

Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:

1. If you'd like to continue as a PGM project team member
2. If you're happy with the team you're on (Research and/or Profile Improvement) or if you'd like to make a change
3. Optionally, what you like since the reboot back in May or what you think could be improved. This could be something about Discord, or Google Groups, or managed profile spreadsheets, or challenge participation or really anything. If you like everything the way it is, you can let me know that too :)

If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Yes! -- I’m happy to continue as a member of the PGM Research crew.

I’m still spending anywhere from, say, 20-80 hours per week on WikiTree, but I’m afraid not much of it is visible to PGM folk. A lot of it (like the tree I’ve been immersed in for the last few weeks) consists in trying to connect downstream lines-of-interest far enough back upstream so they’re connected to PGM ancestors.

[The latest effort involves the tree of the wonderful, once-famous Maine author Louise Dickinson Rich (Dickinson-4598) -- a distant cousin of my Dickinson spouse, and an acquaintance of my own Maine-author aunt -- and her husband Ralph Rich (Rich-6214) -- a distant cousin of mine -- and I am now so far out in the branches that I’m not sure I remember how to get back to the trunk.  :oP  :o) ]

Discord, I’m afraid, just left me cold, and I haven’t checked in over there for more than three months. For slow-reading (and -writing) me, it was just one more chore to go to the site and try to sort out wheat from chaff. I’m much happier communicating via email (as in the reply note I just sent to Ken Nagel -- the fellow who just inquired about the rationale behind Solomon Keyes’s (Keyes-29) PGM status -- and copied to a pair of PGM group addresses, tho’ I’m not entirely sure whether both are functional, post-Discord). ... I at least skim every comment-related email I get via PGM, and save the ones that relate to profiles of particular interest. And once in a blue moon, respond.

That's the latest from out here in the T.C. (Minnesotan for Twin Cities). Still at it, even if my visible PGM appearances are limited.

Cheers, Christopher

Thank you for the feedback on Discord, some people enjoy it and are using it frequently and others are in your same boat, which is fine. The Google Groups are still active and used on a daily basis so we want to keep all communication channels running, we don't want to "force" people onto a particular platform. I like email too and use it as often as possible but I understand a lot of folks don't like spreading their email around since the spammers will always find a way to grab it. Oh well, the internet is a blessing and a curse.

Thanks again and have a good day!Brad

I replied to your message, I guess you didn't get it (yet)? I have too many profiles, about 2500. I would really appreciate it if you would take over as manager of any of the Nichol's profiles on your tree.Thanks, dusty

states that the master of Angel Gabriel was unknown. If you know otherwise, it would be great if you corrected the record (uncle to Burnham bros.) I have read about the ill-fated Angel Gabriel and would like to know the answer. Thanks.

Saw your recent comment at the Fuller-682 profile. I'm wondering if you're particularly familiar some of the early Fuller lines from colonial Massachusetts Bay. There are three Sarah Fullers on my mother's side....one of whom is a total mystery. Perhaps born in Plainfield, CT around 1780. This may be too far along. Just curious. I have more background if interested. Thanks. Dave Jenkins
