The purpose of this list is to give a basic outline of each my ancestral families, so that other researchers can quickly determine whether or not our research interests overlap, and see where my information runs out. At present, the BALDWIN and WILSFORD family are the only ones for which I have included any documentation. As I find the time to change what data I have to html format, the documentation for more families will be included.
Each family starts with the earliest generation for which I have proof, and proceeds one generation at a time until reaching a woman who marries into another family. An asterisk (*) indicates that more information will be found under the appropriate family heading. For the most part, I have limited these outlines to that information which can be solidly documented in primary sources, but there is one main exception to this. To date, I have not done a large amount of research on my New England lines, and much of the information given here on those lines is based on good secondary sources which I have not yet checked in the primary sources. With this exception (and a couple of others clearly noted), the remaining lines given here are based on primary sources or (when the primary source was unavailable to me) on copies or abstracts of primary sources. On a few occasions, where I had strong evidence for a relationship which fell short of outright proof, I have included the information as "probable", always clearly marked as such. In these outlines, "probable" always means more than just "written down somewhere", and I do not make such a claim without significant supporting evidence. If there is one or more of these "weak links" in the line between the indicated individuals and myself, the data is italicised. Direct ancestors are given in bold face. Individuals familiar with these families will sometimes note that I have sometimes excluded data (often several generations) which appears in other accounts of those families. The reason for this will generally be that I am not satisfied with the evidence, and reasons for excluding the information will generally be given in the notes. Of course, typographical errors or other mistakes are always a possibility, and I would appreciate being informed of any errors.
AGNEW (probable connection [1])
Patrick Agnew, of Kilwaughter, co. Antrim, gent., will dated 1 July 1724, proved 9 July 1725, m. Martha Houston*.
Margaret Agnew, m. James Crawford*.
Note: [1] The information given here is all well documented. The family is listed here as a "probable" connection because of a weak link (one generation later) between these individuals and myself.

BAIRD (1)
Moses Baird [1], of Lancaster co., PA, b. ca. 1736, d. ca. 1782, Westmoreland co., PA, m. Margaret Brown, who d. 10 Feb 1787, Fayette co., PA.
John Baird, b. 13 Feb 1760, Bucks co., PA, d. 24 Dec 1843, bur. Lebanon cem., Guernsey co., OH, m. Susannah Frame*.
James Baird, b. 1787/8, prob. Fayette co., PA, d. 23 Apr 1863, Guernsey co., OH, bur. Londonderry cem, m. 3 Apr 1821, Guernsey co., OH, Jane Campbell*.
John W. Baird, b. 24 Jan 1824, Guernsey co., OH, mayor of St. Charles, IA, 1885-6, d. 1 Mar 1896, Warren co., IA, bur. St. Charles, m. 15 Mar 1849, Guernsey co., OH, Nancy Crawford*.

Note: [1] Some secondary sources have added one or more additional generations, but without any reasonable documentation that I have seen. To my knowledge, the parentage of Moses Baird remains unknown.]
BAIRD (2)
Adam Baird, of Lancaster and Abbeville counties, SC, d. 1807, Abbeville co., SC.
John Baird, d. ca. 1798, Abbeville co., SC, m. 1st, _____ Moore? [1], m. 2nd, Martha _____.
Lilias Baird, b. 12 Feb 1784, SC, d. 22 July 1852, bur. Fairhaven cem., Preble co., OH, m. 1807, SC, Reuben Cooper Weed(e)*.
Note: [1] Her name has been given as "Lilias McClurken" by some, but with no supporting evidence, and there is an early tradition that her maiden name was Moore, which seems to have more support. Since three of her grandchildren were named "Nancy M.", with "M." standing for Moore in at least one of those cases, it is reasonable to conjecture that her name was Nancy Moore.
John Baldwin, of Howgill, in the twonship of Rimington and parish of Gisburn, co. York, later of Wheatley, in Pendle Forest, co. Lancaster, England, d. 22 12mo. [Feb] 1718/9, Marsden MM, co. Lancaster, England, m. Bridget _____, who was living 7 1mo. [Mar] 1713/4. [1]
John Baldwin, of Wheatley, in Pendle Forest, co. Lancaster, England, later of Makefield, Bucks co., PA, came to America between 1698 and 1700 (probably 1699), d. 19 1mo. [Jan] 1757 [2], m. 1st, 11 12mo. [Feb] 1696/7, Marsden MM, co. Lancaster, England, Jennet Hartley (still living 1700, PA), m. 2nd, 8 12mo. [Feb] 1707/8, Falls MM, PA, Anne Scott*.

Ralph Leslie Baldwin, b. 21 Oct 1913, Lorain, OH, d. 18 July 1995, Las Vegas NV, m. 17 Oct 1948, Denver, CO, Grace Alvetta Baird*.
Stewart Leslie Baldwin (the author of this webpage)
Notes: [1] This first generation is almost certain, but direct proof is lacking. [2] This death was recorded in the records of the New Garden Monthly Meeting in North Carolina, along with other notices of the family of William Baldwin, son of John, and it is clear that the record was made after the event. The death of John's wife Ann in 1741 (well before the move to NC) was also recorded in the same records, and it is clear that she never went to North Carolina. Thus, there is no good evidence that John Baldwin ever went to North Carolina.
BEALS
John Beals [1], d. 1726, Chester co., PA, m. 1682, Chester MM, PA Mary Clayton*.
John Beals, b. 28 1mo [Mar] 1685, Chester MM, PA, d. 1745, Prince George's co., MD, m. 14 9mo. [Nov] 1711, Chester MM, PA, Sarah Bowater*.
Prudence Beals, d. 25 6mo. [June] 1815, New Garden MM, m. 11 10mo. [Dec] 1746, Fairfax MM, VA, Richard Williams*.
Note: [1] I have seen his father's name given as either Thomas or William, but never supported by any reasonable evidence.
BEAMON
George Beamon, of Derby, CT, m. Aug 1679, Derby, New Haven co., CT, Mary Jackson*.
Mary Beamon, d. 27 Oct 1743, Derby, New Haven co., CT, m. 17 Dec 1702, Derby, CT, John Weed*.
BEVERLEY
Arthur Beverley [1], of Bickley, co. York, bur. 26 Feb 1681/2, Ebberston, co. York, m. Mary _____.
Isabella Beverley, bur. 20 Dec 1715, Ebberston, m. 25 June 1695, Ebberston, Edward Consitt*.
Note: [1] Arthur Beverley was a brother of Elizabeth (Beverley) Consitt, the mother of Edward Consitt (see CONSITT), but the identity of their father is unknown. It is quite likely that they descended from the Beverly family of the nearby parish of Rillington.
BOND
Thomas Bond [1], of Wedicar Hall, co. Lancaster, England, d. 16 Oct 1683, Lancaster MM, England, m. 22 May 1656, Lancaster MM, Anne Parker*.
Jane Bond, b. 21 June 1664, Lancaster MM, England, still alive 1707, PA, m. 1st 26 8mo. [Oct] 1687, Lancaster MM, John Scott*, m. 2nd, John Whitaker.
Note: [1] He may have been the son of the John Bond, of Chipping, co. Lancaster, England, whose will was dated 28 May 1662, but this remains unproven.
BOSTOCK (1)
Henry Bostock, of Bostock, co. Chester, England, d. 7 Sep 1580, m. Margaret Bostock*.
Anne Bostock, bp. 13 Oct 1572, Davenham, co. Chester, England, m. 1st , 18 June 1593, Davenham, George Simcock*, m. 2nd, 8 Dec 1624, Witton, John Blease.
Note: [1] Henry Bostock does not appear in the visitations of Cheshire. Burke's Landed Gentry supplies an ancestry for him which, if correct, would probably provide a royal descent. However, there are reasons for being suspicious about this information which go above and beyond the usual reasons for mistrusting the notoriously unreliable Burke, and further evidence is needed for Henry's parentage.
BOSTOCK (2)
Robert Bostock [1], of Moulton, in the parish of Davenham, co. Chester, England, will dated 31 Mar 1537, m. Ann Salt or Salter
Ralph Bostock, of Moulton, bur. 8 Feb 1594/5, Davenham, m. Emma Rode or Roode, who was bur. 30 Aug 1588 at Davenham..
Margaret Bostock, m. 1st, Henry Bostock*, m. 2nd, 10 Jan 1586/7, Witton, Robert Ryley of Leftwich.
Note: [1] Much of this information comes from the 1580 and 1616 visitations of Cheshire, both of which add quite a few earlier generations, but with one major disagreement, the 1616 version giving one extra generation three generations prior to the above Robert. Back to Robert, the visitation gives good information on collaterals, and is probably reliable, as the probate record of Robert reveals that his wife's name was indeed Ann(e). Prior to that, none of the information of the visitation has been verified in contemporary records.
BOTTOM
John Bottom, b. ca. 1662, d. 1710/11, Henrico co., VA, m. Elizabeth _____.
Thomas Bottom, d. 1765, Amelia co., VA.
Mary(?) Bottom [1], m. George Stegall*.
Note: [1] It is known from a deed that Thomas Bottom was the maternal grandfather of George Stegall's daughter Mary Magdalene (Stegall) Rives (see STEGALL), but there is no direct proof that Mary Magdalene (Stegall) Rives was the daughter of George Stegall's known wife Mary. The possibility remains that George Stegall was married twice, first to _____ Bottom (daughter of Thomas Bottom, and mother of Mary Magdalene Stegall) and then to Mary _____.
BOWATER [1]
John Boeter/Bowater, of the parish of Bromsgrove, co. Worcester, England, living 1640.
William Bowater, of Sidemore, in the parish of Bromsgrove, co. Worcester, England, bp. 10 June 1604, Bromsgrove, bur. 10 May 1647, Bromsgrove. He m. 1st, 30 Jan 1627/8, Bromsgrove, Mary Byrt, and m. 2nd, Dorothy _____. It is unknown which wife was the mother of his son John.
John Bowater, of the parish of Bromsgrove, co. Worcester, later of Westbury Street, Spitalfields, London, bp. 25 Apr 1630, Bromsgrove, d. 16 11mo. [Jan] 1704/5, London, m. 1st, Ann _____, who d. 25 2mo. [Apr] 1679. He m. 2nd, 12 9mo. [Nov] 1685, London and Middlesex MM, Mary Maunder.
Thomas Bowater, b. 10 Feb 1654, Bromsgrove, co. Worcester, England, came to Pennsylvania in 1683 aboard the ship Bristol Comfort as an indentured servant, date of death unknown, m. 1st, 1686, Chester MM, PA, Sarah Edge*. He m. 2nd, 1702, Concord MM, PA, Mrs. Frances (Lambe) Barnett/Barnard, a widow (an ancestor of Abraham Lincoln by her first marriage), by whom he had no children.
Sarah Bowater, b. 17 6mo. [Aug] 1688, Chester MM, PA, m. 1st, 14 9mo. [Nov] 1711, Chester MM, PA, John Beals* (d. 1745), m. 2nd, 1748, Fairfax MM, VA, Alexander Underwood.
Note: [1] A detailed account of this family, with full documentation, appears in my article "John1 and Thomas1 Bowater and their sister Mary1 (Bowater) Wright", in The American Genealogist 75 (2000): 37-46, 117-123.
BRACE
William Brace, probably lived in the mid-fifteenth century. [1]
Rose Brace, m. John More*.
Note: [1] His arms (as quartered by the Wythe family) indicate that he was a cadet member of the Brace family which held a moiety of the manor of Doverdale in co. Worcester, England, but the exact line of descent from that family has not been established. (See the 1569 visitation of Worcestershire, under the Withe family.)
CAMPBELL (1)
Patrick Campbell, d. 2 July 1804, Westmoreland co., PA, m. Jane _____, d. 1790.
Robert Campbell, b. ca. 1770, died of wounds suffered in battle in the War of 1812, 21 Jan 1813, Dayton, OH, m. Elizabeth Boone, b. 23 Mar 1786, d. 24 Dec 1853, bur. Sewickly graveyard, Westmoreland co., PA. She m. 2nd, John Marshall.

Robert Campbell, b. ca. 1771/2, Ireland (co. Antrim?), d. 19 Nov 1842, Guernsey co., OH, bur. Antrim cem, m. Jane _____, b. ca. 1773/4, d. Aug 1848, bur. Antrim cem., Guernsey co., OH.
Jane Campbell, d. 7 July 1845, bur. Old Washington cem., Guernsey co., OH, m. 3 Apr 1821, Guernsey co., OH, James Baird*.
CARLILL
Richard Carlill, of Brompton in Pickering Lythe, co. York, husbandman, will dated 9 Oct 1583, proved 10 Dec 1583, m. Catherine ______, will dated 16 Feb 1584/5, proved 27 Sep 1585.

Rowland Casse, of Sawdon, in the parish of Brompton, co. York, England, will dated 1 Aug 1571, proved 2 Oct 1572.
John Casse, of Sawdon, will dated 13 Mar 1601, proved 8 May 1606.
Frances Casse, m. 14 Oct 1585, Brompton, Henry Carlill*.
CASSE (2)

Alice Casse, m. 1st, 19 Nov 1598, Brompton, William Norrison, m. 2nd, 12 Nov 1615, Brompton, William Carlill*.
CLAYTON
William Clayton Jr. [1], of Chichester, co. Sussex, will dated 1 Feb 1658/9, m. 30 Oct 1631, Boxgrove, co. Sussex, Joan Smith, who was bur. 27 Apr 1644, Boxgrove. William Clayton m. 2nd, 6 Jan 1644/5, Boxgrove, Elizabeth Simmons.
William Clayton, bp. 9 Dec 1632, Boxgrove, came to PA in 1677, d. 1689, m. 7 Nov 1653, St. Pancras, co. Sussex, Prudence Lanckford*.
Mary Clayton, b. 29 Aug 1665, Rumbolds Wake parish, co. Sussex (rec. at Lewes and Chichester MM), m. 1682, Chester MM, PA, John Beals*.
Note: [1] The name of William's father has been given as Thomas Clayton of Rudgwick, co. Sussex (see The Quaker Yeoman, vol. 11, no. 4, p. 1, Jan 1995), but no proof has been given that Thomas's son William was the same person as this William Clayton. Although proof is lacking, a more likely candidate for the father of William Clayton would be the William Clayton Sr., who was buried 8 Apr 1644 at Boxgrove, co. Sussex. For a well documented account of the English ancestry of this family, see "The Parentage of William Clayton, Quaker immigrant to Pennsylvania: a correction", by Col. Charles Hansen, in The Genealogist [TG], 4 (1983), 169-173, and his later "William Clayton's parentage: an addition", in TG 9 (1988), 78-9.
COLLIER [1]
Robert Collier, d. bef. 1545.
Henry Collier, of the parish of Feckenham, co. Worcester, d. 11 Apr 1557, m. Sybil _____, who was bur. 2 June 1586 at Feckenham

Alice Collier, bp. 13 Mar 1599/1600, Ombersley, d. 1664/6, m. 20 June 1622, Bradley, co. Worcester, George Maris*.
Note: [1] Documentation for this family is given in my article "George1 Maris of Chester County, Pennsylvania", in The Genealogist 13 (1999), 216-51.
CONSITT
Thomas Consitt, of Bickley, co. York, England, d. ca. 1657, m. 22 June 1613, Hackness, co. York, Elizabeth Cockerill.
Thomas Consitt, of Bickley, bp. 18 Nov 1627, Hackness, d. ca. 1677, md Elizabeth Beverley [1], who d. 1679/80.
Edward Consitt, of Bickley, d. 1741, m. 25 June 1695, Ebberston, co. York, Isabella Beverley*.
Thomas Consitt, of Bickley, co. York, bp. 23 Nov 1708, Ebberston, bur. 27 July 1783, Ebberston, perhaps m. Mary Esthill [2].
William Consitt, of Broxa and Market Weighton, co. York, bp. 4 Oct 1748, Ebberston, bur. 28 May 1813, Market Weighton, m. 12 Apr 1773, Harwood Dale, co. York, Mary Dickinson*.
Thomas Consitt, of Market Weighton, bp. 11 Feb 1774, Harwood Dale, co. York, bur. 17 Sep 1838, Market Weighton, m. 9 Aug 1803, Hackness, Rebecca Rhodes [3], bp. 16 Apr 1780, Hackness, bur. 17 Oct 1845, Market Weighton.
Dorothy Ann Consitt, d. 25 Feb 1862, bur. Scotch Ridge cem., Warren co., IA, m. 2 Dec 1827, Market Weighton, co. York, England, Henry Cartwright*.
Notes: [1] The parentage of Elizabeth Beverley is unknown, but she was the sister of Arthur Beverley, the father of Isabella Beverley who m. Edward Consitt. [2] Because of the possibility of confusing two Thomas Consitts, the marriage(s) of Thomas Consitt have not been completely worked out. That Mary Esthill was one of his wives, and the mother of his children, seems to be the most likely possibility, but that is not certain. [3] Due to the fact that the baptism of Dorothy Ann Consitt has not yet been found, it is still uncertain whether Doroty was the daughter of Rebecca or of an unknown earlier wife of Thomas Consitt. If the ages of Dorothy (Consitt) Cartwright are correct as given on her gravestone and in two American censuses, then she was born ca. 1800, before the marriage of Thomas Consitt and Rebecca Rhodes. Some of the ancestors of Rebecca Rhodes are relatively easy to trace, but I have not included that data here, because of the uncertainties regarding the mother of Dorothy Ann Consitt.
COOK
Peter Cook, of Tarvin, co.Chester, England, d. 1713 at sea on the way to America, m. 7 12mo. [Feb] 1695/6, at Newton, co. Chester (recorded at Cheshire QM), Eleanor Norman*.
John Cook, b. 2 Sep 1696, Cheshire, England, d. 15 Mar 1759, m. 10mo. [Dec] or 11mo. [Jan] 1718/9, Kennett MM, PA, Eleanor Lansdale*.
Margaret Cook, b. 7 9mo. [Nov] 1721 [1], m. 20 2mo. [Apr] 1748, Chester co., PA, d. 1 3mo. [Mar] 1781, m. James Johnson*.
Note: [1] This date is based on a list of John Cook's children in the Gilbert Cope collection, written in Cope's handwriting. I have been unable to find the original source.
CRAVEN
John Craven, of Troutsdale, co. York, b. ca. 1581, d. 29 Sep 1661, bur. Hackness, co. York, m. 7 Dec 1607, Elizabeth Langdale*.
William Craven, of Hilla Green, co. York, bp. 11 Dec 1608, Wykeham, co. York, d. 1674, m. 12 July 1636, Brompton by Sawdon, co. York, Elizabeth Carlill*.
William Craven, of Hilla Green, co. York, bp. 21 Nov 1651, Hackness, bur. 29 Sep 1723, Hackness, m. 28 Mar 1680, Wykeham, Anne Stains*.
George Craven, bp. 22 Nov 1685, Wykeham, m. 16 Jan 1712/3, Hutton Bushel, Anne Audas*.
Elizabeth Craven, of Hilla Green, co. York, bp. 9 Sep 1720, Hutton Bushel, bur. 11 Mar 1788, Hackness, m. 21 Oct 1740, Harwood Dale, co. York, Henry Dickinson*.
CRAWFORD (1)
James Crawford [1], of Ballysavage, co. Antrim, Ireland, will dated 19 June 1736, m. Margaret Agnew*.
John Crawford, of Raloo, co. Antrim, Ireland, d. in or bef. 1792, m. 21 Aug 1746, Larne, co. Antrim, Ireland, Jane Lyle.
Matthew Crawford, of Raloo, co. Antrim, Ireland, b. ca. 1760, d. 24 May 1814, bur. Raloo Graveyard, m. Jennet Crawford*.
John Crawford, b. 5 Dec 1791, Raloo, co. Antrim, Ireland, to America in 1818, d. 11 Sep 1860, Van Buren co., IA, bur. Winchester cem, m. 1st, Ireland, _____ Robinson [2] (first name unknown), who d. ca. 1830, OH. John Crawford m. 2nd, Rebecca Stull.
Nancy Crawford, b. 28 June 1823, OH, d. 7 Sep 1882, St. Charles, Madison co., OH, m. 15 Mar 1849, Guernsey co., OH, John W. Baird*.
Notes: [1] The parentage of John Crawford given here is probably correct, but further documentation is desirable, in order to be sure that individuals of the same name are not being confused. [2] Better documentation for this maiden name would be desirable, but it appears to be supported by the frequent use of "Robinson" as a middle or given name among descendants.
CRAWFORD (2)
Thomas Crawford [1], of Bogtown, in the Braid, co. Antrim, Ireland, m. Nancy Boyd.
Jennet Crawford, b. ca. 1762, d. 9 Dec 1845, bur. Raloo Graveyard, m. Matthew Crawford*.
Note: [1] No contemporary documentation has been found for this generation. The information comes from an early twentieth century typescript copy of an earlier document of unknown date, which appears to have been written by someone who personally knew both Nancy Boyd and Jennet Crawford. The same source gives the names of the parents of Nancy Boyd as William Boyd and Isabella Strackan, with no further information.
DEANE
Lawrence Deane, of Shurlach, co. Chester.
Richard Deane.
Lawrence Deane.
Alice Deane [1], of Shipbrooke, co. Chester, d. 9 Apr 1588, bur. 10 Apr 1588, Davenham, co. Chester, m. 20 June 1569, Davenham, Arthur Simcock*.
Note: [1] Alice (Deane) Simcock was the heiress of her granduncle John Deane (son of the elder Lawrence Deane), d. 13 Oct 1563, rector of the parish of St. Bartholomew the Great, West Smithfield, London, and founder of the grammar school at Witton, in Cheshire. Since the major documentation for this line comes through Alice Deane's status as the heiress of John Deane, virtually nothing is known of Alice Deane's three direct ancestors beyond their names.]

Elizabeth Dickinson, bp. 1 Oct 1638, Fylingdales, m. 2 Dec 1656, Thornton Dale, co. York, George Stains*.
Note: [1] This generation is likely, but further proof would be desirable that John's son Henry named in his will was the same as the Henry who died in 1613.
DICKINSON (3)
_____ Dickinson, d. bef. 20 Jan 1583 (first name unknown), m. Margaret _____, of Suffield, co. York, bur. 30 Jan 1582/3, Hackness, co. York.

DOGGETT (1)

Richard Doggett, of Groton, Suffolk, living 1526 [see Dogget (1)].
Alice Doggett, living 8 Mar 1566/7, m. 1st, _____ Lappage* (first name unknown), m. 2nd, William More.
DORN (1)
John Dorn, b. 12 Aug 1851, Oberzell, Hessen-Kassel, Germany, d. 6 Mar 1902, Mt. Victory, Hardin co., OH, m. 18 Nov 1880, Hardin co., OH, Catherine Dorn*.
Florence Elizabeth Dorn, b. 1 Oct 1891, Mt. Victory, Hardin co., OH, d. 29 May 1960, Youngstown, Mahoning co., OH, m. 29 Dec 1912, Toledo, Lucas co., OH Ralph Leslie Baldwin*.
DORN (2)
Conrad Dorn, b. 3 Jan 1829, Hessen-Kassel, Germany, d. 5 Nov 1880, Hardin co., OH, m. 29 Oct 1851, Hardin co., OH, Katherina Alt, b. 12 Dec 1829, Oberzell, Hessen-Kassel, Germany, d. 3 Feb 1892, Hardin co., OH.
Catherine Dorn, b. 16 Jan 1861, Kenton, Hardin co., OH, d. 4 Jan 1936, Youngstown, Mahoning co., OH, m. 18 Nov 1880, Hardin co., OH, John Dorn*.
EDGE
George Edge [1], of Barrow, co. Chester, England, bur. 22 3mo. [May] 1676 at Whitley, co. Chester, m. Joan _____.
Sarah Edge [2], b. 7mo. [Sep] 1657, co. Chester, England, d. 26 2mo. [Apr] 1692, Chester MM, PA, m. 1686, Chester MM, PA, Thomas Bowater*.
[1] Some have given two additional generations, based primarily on the baptism of a certain George Edge, son of Richard Edge, at Frodsham. However, although it is possible that this baptism was the same George Edge, I have never seen any convincing proof that this was the case. [2] The frequently repeated claim that she was a daughter of the early Quaker immigrant John Edge is incorrect, and she was in fact John's sister. The above relationship is documented by the records of the Cheshire Quarterly Meeting. This Edge family apparently had no connection to the Edge family of Middlesex (also Quakers), with whom they have sometimes been confused.
FOSTER
Stephen Foster, of Skipsea, co. York, bur. 13 Mar 1722/3, Skipsea, m. 10 Feb 1714/5, Skipsea, Ellis Pilkington.
Jane Foster, bp. 22 Nov 1715, Skipsea, bur. 5 May 1752, Skipsea, m. 1741, Skipsea, John Warcup*.

Susannah Frame, b. 12 Aug 1865, PA, d. 20 Dec 1841, OH, m. John Baird*.
GALE
Thomas Gale, of Edwardstone, Suffolk, d. ca. 1588, m. Mawde _____, living 1588.
Agnes Gale, m. 7 June 1567, Edwardstone, Suffolk, England, Thomas Lappage*.
GRIMES
Benjamin Grimes, of Maryland and Fayette co., PA, b. ca. 1765/75, still alive 1830, Fayette co., PA.
James Grimes, b. 9 Oct 1799, MD, d. 12 Oct 1856, Logan co., OH, m. Elizabeth Yeagley*.
Sarah Grimes, b. 11 June 1825, probably in Fayette co., PA, d. 1909, bur. Hale cem., Hardin co., OH, m. 18 Mar 1847, Logan co., OH, Lemuel Williams*.
HAYHURST (1)
Cuthbert Hayhurst or Hairst [1], of Essington, co. York, d. 19 1mo. [Mar] 1676/7, m. bef. 1617, Alice Hayhurst* or Hairst, d. 17 Jan 1667/8.
Isabell Hayhurst or Hairst, possibly the same as Isabell, bur. 17 Nov 1685, Twisden, co. Lancaster, England, m. John Scott*. [2]
Notes: [1] Most published accounts of the Hayhurst family appear to based on the innacurate account in the Alfred R. Justice collection, which makes the unlikely claim that Cuthbert Hairst of Essington was the same person as the Cuthbert, son of William Hairst of Slaidburn, whose will was dated 30 July 1647. Since William Hairst of Slaidburn had a minor child in 1647, and Cuthbert Hairst was already married by 1617, it is unlikely (but still possible) that William was Cuthbert's father. [2] It is certain that Cuthbert and Alice Hairst had a daughter named Isabell, who was named in the will of her maternal grandmother Margery Hairst (d. 1646/7, see below), and also known that there was a close relationship between the Scotts and the Hayhursts, based on the witness lists of several marriages, two of which have lists in which certain individuals are explicitly labelled as "relations". By far the best explanation for this relationship would be that John Scott's wife Isabell (maiden name otherwise unknown) was the same person as the Isabell who was daughter of Cuthbert and Alice Hairst, and other explanations would be difficult to fit into the known evidence. However, more direct evidence for this relationship would be desirable. See also the comments under Hayhurst (2) below.
HAYHURST (2)
William Hairst, of Newton-in-Bolland, co. York, England, d. 1584/6.
Cuthbert Hairst, of Newton-in-Bolland, co. York, d. 1622/3, m. Isabell (Rangill?).
William Hairst [1], of Newton-in-Bolland, d. 1617/8, m. Margery _____, d. 1646/7.
Alice Hayhurst or Hairst, d. 17 11mo. [Jan] 1667/8, Settle MM, co. York, m. bef. 1617 Cuthbert Hayhurst or Hairst*. [2]
Notes: [1] Cuthbert Hairst (d. 1622/3) certainly had a son named William, who was named executor of the will of his grandfather William Hairst (d. 1584/6). It seems likely that Cuthbert Hairst's son William was the William Hairst of Newton-in-Bolland whose will was written in 1617, and who was the father of Alice, the wife of Cuthbert Hairst/Hayhurst of Essington, but better evidence of that identity is still needed. The maiden name and parentage of Alice appears to have been overlooked by previous researchers. [2] In addition to being the parents of a daughter Isabell (see above), they were the parents of Cuthbert and William Hayhurst, two early Quaker immigrants to PA.
HOUSTON {probable connection [1])
William Houston, of Craig, co. Antrim, Ireland, will dated 3 Apr 1685, proved 21 May 1685.
Martha Houston, m. Patrick Agnew*.
Note: [1] The information given here is all well documented. The family is listed here as "probable" because of a weak link (two generations later) between these individuals and myself.
HUETT/HEWITT
Richard Huett/Hewitt, of Witton, co. Chester, England, bur. 3 Sep 1600, Witton, m. 11 July 1585, Witton, Anne Sudlowe, who m. 2nd, William Burgess.
Elizabeth Huett, bp. 18 Apr 1595, Witton, bur. 7 Nov 1663, Witton, m. 11 Aug 1617, Weaverham, co. Chester, George Pownall*.
HULL
Richard Hull, d. 21 Aug 1662, New Haven, CT.
Mary Hull, d. 26 Feb 1664, m. 1 Mar 1653/4, New Haven, CT, John Jackson*.
JACKSON
John Jackson, b. ca. 1623, d. 1 Oct 1683, Derby, New Haven co., CT, m. 1 Mar 1653/4, New Haven, CT, Mary Hull*.
Mary Jackson, b. 15 Oct 1657, New Haven, CT, d. 15 June 1724, Derby, CT, m. Aug 1679, Derby, New Haven co., CT, George Beamon*.
JARMAN
John Jarman, m. Margaret _____.
Elizabeth Jarman [1], probably m. Edward Morgan*.
Note: [1] Although Edward Morgan's wife Elizabeth was probably the daughter of John Jarman, this has not been solidly documented. The principal evidence comes from an account given by an aged great-granddaughter of Edward Morgan to a younger relative, which was then reported soon afterward by the latter in a letter. There are also several pieces of primary evidence which lend support to, but do not confirm, the relationship.
JOHNSON
Robert Johnson, of Coleboy, co. Wicklow, Ireland to PA in 1714, received at Kennett MM, PA from Carlow Meeting in Ireland, 12 5mo. [July] 1714, d. 1732, Chester co., PA, m. 19 6mo. [Aug] 1693, co. Wicklow, Ireland, Margaret Braithwaite, of Ballynacurrig, Ireland.

Frances Jones, bur. 10 May 1636, Hanbury, co. Worcester, m. 27 Nov 1589, Ombersley, Henry Collier*.
KAY
Ralph Kay, of Allerston, co. York, England, d. 1686, m. 5 Feb 1655/6, Thornton Dale, co. York, Anne Skelton*.
Catherine Kay, b. ca. 1664, bur. 3 May 1743, Hutton Bushel, co. York, m. 3 Feb 1686, Allerston, Matthew Audas*.
LANCKFORD
William Lanckford, of Broughton parish, co. Hants, England, possibly the same as William Lankford of Rumboldswick, co. Sussex, who d. 1 11mo. [Jan] 1665/6, rec. at Lewes and Chichester MM, England.
Prudence Lanckford, m. 7 Nov 1653, St. Pancras, Sussex, England, William Clayton*.

William Langdale, of Hackness, bur. 8 Dec 1577, Hackness.
George Langdale, of Hackness, bur. 20 Dec 1606, Hackness, m.19 Oct 1578, Hackness, Margaret Dickinson*.
Elizabeth Langdale, bp. 7 May 1585, Hackness, bur. 22 Nov 1652, Hackness, m. 7 Dec 1607, Hackness, John Craven*.
LANGLEY
Geoffrey Langley, of Colchester, co. Essex, England, d. Nov/Dec 1624, m. Anne Carter, of Walton-on-the-Naze, co. Essex.
Anne Langley, bp. 2 Mar 1604, St. Nicholas, Colchester, co. Essex, m. William Doggett*.
LANSDALE
Thomas Lansdale, of Yealand Conyers, co. Lancaster, England, d. 1699, either during passage on the ship Britannia or shortly after arriving in America, m. 8 3mo. [May] 1695, at Yealand Conyers (Lancaster MM), Margaret Robinson, of Yealand Conyers, Lancashire, England, d. 1699.
Eleanor Lansdale, b. 1696, Lancaster MM, England, m. 10mo. [Dec] or 11mo. [Jan] 1718/9, Kennett MM, PA, John Cook*.
LAPPAGE
_____ Lappage (first name unknown), m. Alice Doggett*.
Thomas Lappage, of Boxford, Suffolk, b. ca. 1532, d. 1611/4, m. 7 June 1567, Edwardstone, Suffolk, England, Agnes Gale*.
Avice Lappage, bp. 1 Aug 1568, d. after 1650, m. 1 June 1591, Boxford, Suffolk, William Doggett*.
LLOYD (probable connection [1])
Thomas Lloyd [2], d. 1748, Philadelphia co., PA, m. bef. 10 6mo. [Aug] 1699, PA, Elizabeth Williams*.
Sarah Lloyd, b. 14 7mo. 1701, Haverford MM, PA, d. bef. 6 Aug 1747, Frederick co., VA, m. 8 Nov 1721, Haverford MM, PA, John Morgan*.
Notes: [1] The information given here is all well documented. The family is listed here as "probable" because of a weak link (one generation later) between these individuals and myself. [2] The claimed royal ancestry of Thomas Lloyd has been disproven. See my article "The supposed royal ancestry of the Lloyd siblings of Pennsylvania", in The American Genealogist 71 (1996): 77-84, where I showed that the previously claimed parentage of Thomas Lloyd was incorrect. The parentage, and place of origin overseas, of Thomas Lloyd remains unproven, although it is very likely that he came from Wales.
MARIS
George Maris [1], of Grafton Flyford, co. Worcester, England, d. 1656/9, m. 20 June 1622, Bradley, co. Worcester, Alice Collier*.
George Maris, b. ca. 1631/2, co. Worcester, d. 15 11mo. [Jan] 1703/4, Chester MM, PA, m. Alice _____ [2], who d. 11 1mo. [Mar] 1699/1700, Chester MM, PA.
Alice Maris, b. 17 8mo. [Oct[ 1660, co. Worcester, England, d. 10 10mo. [Dec] 1726, Chester MM, PA, m. 15 11mo. [Jan] 1684/5, Chester MM, PA, Jacob Simcock*.
Notes: [1] His father is sometimes given as Richard Maris, but there are problems with the documentation (because of possible confusion with another George Maris), and the parentage of this George Maris still requires proof. The documentation for the English ancestry of this family is discussed in detail in my article "George1 Maris of Chester County, Pennsylvania", in The Genealogist 13 (1999): 216-51. [2] To my knowledge, no good evidence has ever been put forward to support the claimed maiden name of "Willsmith" (or variants) for Alice.
MILLER
Gayen Miller, d. 1742, Chester co., PA, m. Margaret _____. [1]
Sarah Miller, b. 1 9mo. [Nov] 1704, Newark (Kennett) MM, PA, d. 6mo. [Aug] 1749, bur. London Grove, Chester co., PA, m. 23 Apr 1724, Newark (Kennett) MM, PA, Joshua Johnson*.
Note: [1] The maiden name of Margaret is given as "Henderson" in some sources, but I have never seen any proof of this.
MOON
James Moon, d. ca. 7mo. [Sep] 1713, Falls MM, PA, m. Joan _____, who was b. ca. 1649, d. 10mo. [Dec] 1739, Falls MM, PA[1].
James Moon, b. ca. 1669, m. 1st, 2mo. [Apr] or 3mo. [May] 1697, Chesterfield MM, NJ, Mary Wilsford*. James Moon m. 2nd, 1714, Agnes Priestly.
Simon Moon, b. 11 4mo. [June] 1700, Middletown MM, PA, will dated 11 Nov 1748, proved 7 Feb 1748/9, Frederick co., VA, m. 27 Sep 1721, Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA, Leaury Humphries.
Rachel Moon, m. 12 7mo. [July] 1758, New Garden MM, NC, Henry Thornburgh*.
Notes: [1] I have been unable to find any good evidence that Joan's maiden name was Burges(s), as has been frequently claimed, nor have I found any proof that James Moon was the brother of John Moon, another early Quaker immigrant from Bristol to PA. The supposed Bristol origin of James is also, to my knowledge, unproven.
MORE
John More, m. Rose Brace*.
John More, m. Joan Gardner.
Isabell More, bur. 30 Mar 1545, St. Peter de Witton, Droitwich, co. Worcester, m. John Wythe*.
MORGAN (probable connection)
Edward Morgan [1], of Gwynedd, PA, maternal grandfather of the famous Daniel Boone, m. Elizabeth (probably Jarman*).
John Morgan, d. ca. 1747, Frederick co., VA, m. 8 Nov 1721, Haverford MM, PA, Sarah Lloyd*.
Elizabeth Morgan, probably the same person as: Elizabeth, d. 19 9mo. [Sep] 1773, New Garden MM, NC, m. ca. 1745, probably in VA, William Baldwin*.
Notes: [1] Edward Morgan's origin is unknown. He was certainly not the son of Sir James Morgan (of the Morgans of Llantarnum), as has been frequently claimed. An extensive account of the immediate descendants of Edward Morgan is currecntly in preparation. [2] The suggested identity of Elizabeth, daughter of John Morgan, with Elizabeth, wife of William Baldwin, is based on a number of independent pieces of evidence, which form a strong case, but fall short of clear proof.
NORMAN
John Norman, of Crowton, Cheshire, England, d. ca. 1680, m. 6 Sep 1654, Frodsham, co. Chester, Margaret Rutter. [1]
Eleanor Norman, of Kingsley, perhaps bp. 21 Sep 1665, Frodsham, m. 7 Feb 1695/6, Cheshire, m. 1st, 7 12mo. 1695/6, England, Peter Cook*, of Tarvin, Cheshire, who d. 1713 at sea on the way to America. She m. 2nd, 1714, Chester MM, PA, John Fincher.
Note: [1] This seems to be the most likely possibility for the parentage of Eleanor Norman, but further proof is needed.
PARKER
Arthur Parker, of Lickhurst, in Bolland Forest, co. Lancaster, England, b. ca. 1536, d. July 1602, m. Elizabeth _____, will dated 9 Jan 1608/9.
Alexander Parker, of Lees in Bolland Forest, bp. 22 Aug 1565.
Robert Parker, of Lees in Bolland Forest, will dated 8 Jan 1671, m. Jane _____.
Anne Parker, d. 19 11mo. [Jan] 1668/9, Lancaster MM, England, m. 22 May 1656, Lancaster MM, Thomas Bond*.
PAXSON
James Paxson [1], m. 16 Aug 1640, Marsh Gibbon, co. Buckingham, England, Jane Clerk, who was bur. 15 Aug 1670, Marsh Gibbon.
James Paxson, came to America in 1682 or 1683, d. 1722, Bucks co., PA, m. 1st, [name unknown], m. 2nd, 6 Oct 1670, Marsh Gibbon, co. Buckingham, Jane Gurden.
William Paxson, b. 25 Dec 1675, bp. 22 Jan 1675/6, Marsh Gibbon, bo. Buckingham, England, m. 20 12mo. [Feb] 1695/6, Middletwon MM, PA, Abigail Pownall*.
Reuben Paxson [2], m. 1730, Abington MM, PA, Alice Simcock*.
John Paxson, b. 13 7mo. [Sep] 1744, Kingwood, Hunterdon co., NJ, d. 1820, Logan co., OH, m. Mary _____[3].
Nancy Paxson, d. 1838, m. 8 Sep 1812, Champaign co., OH, Henry Williams*.
Notes: [1] Martha Jonet Paxson Grundy, "The Paxson Brothers of Colonial Pennsylvania: The First Three Generations", in National Genealogical Society Quarterly [NGSQ] 71 (1983), 193-216, based primarily on Arthur Edwin Bye, History of the Bye Family and Some Allied Families (Easton, PA, 1956), claimed to give four additional generations of ancestry for this Paxson family. However, see my article "The Paxson Brothers of Pennsylvania: A Reassessment of the Evidence", in NGSQ 83 (1995), 39-43, where I showed that these generations could not be accepted without further proof. [2] Although his genealogical connections are well documented, the birth and death dates of Reuben Paxson are unknown. I have been unable to verify reports that he married agan and moved to South Carolina. [3] An undocumented maiden name of "Simcock" for her started appearing on the internet in 1998. Unless supporting evidence for this surfaces, it seems best to regard this as a probable error resulting from confusion with John Paxson's mother, who certainly was a Simcock.
POWNALL
Ralph Pownall, of Witton, Cheshire, d. between 1604 and 1607, m. 1st, Margaret _____, who was bur. 15 Jan 1587/8, Witton, m. 2nd., Anne _____.
Humphrey Pownall, of Witton, Cheshire, bur. 18 Dec 1614, Witton, m. 15 May 1586, Witton, Jane Tew*.
George Pownall, of Witton and Lostock Gralam, Cheshire, bp. 24 Apr 1597, Witton, bur. 6 Jan 1679/80, Witton, m. 11 Aug 1617, Weaverham, co. Chester, Elizabeth Huett*.
George Pownall, of Lostock Gralam, later of Bucks co., PA, bp. 26 Feb 1633/4, Witton, d. 30 Oct 1682, Bucks co., PA, m. Eleanor (probably Worrall or Gardner [1]).
Abigail Pownall, b. 4 12mo. [Feb] 1677/8, Cheshire, England, d. 1749, Bucks co., PA, m. William Paxson*.
Note: [1] The reasons for regarding Eleanor's maiden name to be probably Worrall or Gardner were discussed in my article Quaker Marriage Certificates: Using Witness Lists in Genealogical Research, The American Genealogist 72 (1997), 225-243, especially 237-242.
REEVES
George Reeves, of Prince William co., VA, m. before 1723, VA, Ann Doggett*.
Asa Reeves, b. ca. 1739, VA, d. 1822, Fleming co., KY, m. Sarah _____ [1].
Elizabeth Reeves, b. ca. 1776?, m. 3 Nov 1790, Mason co., KY, Samuel Jones*.
Note: I have seen a couple of maiden names offered for her, neither accompanied by any evidence.
RICHARDS
Thomas Richards [1], of Hartford, CT, d. ca. 1639.
Obadiah Richards, of Farmington, CT, d. 11 Nov 1702, m. Hannah Andrews*.
Elizabeth Richards, b. July 1675, CT, m. John Richardson*.
Note: [1] I have been unable to verify the statement in Torrey's marriages that his wife's name was Priscilla Wakeman.
RICHARDSON
Thomas Richardson, of Farmington and Waterbury, CT, d. 14 Nov 1712, m. Mary _____ [1], who d. 21 Nov 1712.
John Richardson, of Waterbury, CT, b. 15 Apr 1672, d. 17 Oct 1712, m. 1st, Elizabeth Richards*, m. 2nd, Ruth Wheeler.
Sarah Richardson, b. 28 Apr 1710, Waterbury, CT, d. 15 Feb 1747/8, Waterbury, CT, m. Samuel Weed*.
Note: [1] I have been unable to verify the statement in Torrey's marriages that her maiden name was Senior.
RIVES
Capt. Frederick Rives [1], d. bef. 19 Jan 1815, Franklin co., VA, m. 1761, Amelia co., VA Mary Magdalene Stegall*.
Phoebe S. Rives, b. 3 Sep 1769, VA, d. 30 Jan 1854, Washington co., IN, m. 23 July 1796, Franklin co., VA, Murphy D. Still*.
Note: [1] The supposed ancestors of Captain Frederick Rives which are given in Reliques of the Rives, by James Rives Childs, are supplied without any reasonable proof, and cannot be accepted without further evidence.
ROBINSON

Anne Skelton, bur. 1 Aug 1670, Allerston, co. York, m. 5 Feb 1655/6, Thornton Dale, co. York, Ralph Kay*.
Note: [1] Although the parentage of Anne Skelton given here appears to be correct, more solid proof of her father's identity would be desirable. That Anne's mother was named Frances is proven by the will of Ralph Kay, which named his mother-in-law Frances Skelton.
SMITH
John Smith, of Bath co., VA, living 1810.
John Smith, of Bath co., VA and Logan co., OH, b. ca. 1770/5, d. 1840/1, Logan co., OH, m. 1st, 1799 (marriage bond 15 Oct 1799), Bath co., VA, Rebeckah Carrick, m. 2nd, bef. 1828, Sarah _____, m. 3rd, 19 Oct 1838, Logan co., OH, Harriet Camper.

Notes: [1] His place of origin in England is unknown. Claims that he was born in Northamtonshire or Yorkshire have not been backed up by good evidence. [2] Maiden names of Messor, Meeker, and variants have been assigned to her, but with no known good evidence. [3] The claim that her maiden name was Wiseman is probably a mistake based on the confusion of two Nathaniel Weeds, as her son Nathaniel Jr. was married to a Wiseman. The fact that two of her sons had "Cooper" as a middle name (a feature which does not appear in earlier generations) suggests the possibility that her maiden name may have been Cooper. [4] The "e" appears to have been added to the name at about this generation.

Mary Jane Williams, b. 17 Sep 1857, Hardin co., OH, d. 29 May, Waldo, Marion co., OH, m. 18 Nov 1880, Hardin co., OH, Enos David Baldwin*.
Note: [1] The evidence for this first generation depends heavily on two noncontemporary county histories which tell a consistent story, and which appear to be independent of each other, with a little support from good primary sources. However, it would be nice to get better documetation for this generation.
WILLIAMS (2)
George Williams, of Monocacy, Prince Georges co., m.
Richard Williams, b. 1726, d. 6 5mo. [May] 1781, New Garden MM, NC, m. 11 10mo. [Dec] 1746, Fairfax MM, VA, Prudence Beals*.

John Williams, b. 3 11mo. [Nov] 1775, New Garden MM, NC, d. 1815, Champaign co., OH, m. 31 3mo. [Mar] 1796, Westfield MM, NC, Mary Robinson*.
Hannah Williams, b. 15 1mo. [Jan] 1797, Westfield MM, NC, d. 8 Oct 1847, Hardin co., OH, m. 6 Nov 1817, Champaign co., OH, m. Daniel Baldwin*.
"WILLIAMS" (3) (probable connection [1])
John [2]
Edward ap John, of Cynlas, in the parish of Llanderfel, co. Merioneth, Wales.
William ap Edward, of Merion, PA, will dated 29 Dec 1714, m. ca. 1671, Wales, Katherine Roberts [3].
Elizabeth Williams, b. 14 May 1672, Wales, d. 1748/9, Philadelphia, PA, m. bef. 10 6mo. [Aug] 1699, PA, Thomas Lloyd*.
Notes: [1] The information given here is all well documented. The family is listed here as "probable" because of a weak link (two generations later) between these individuals and myself. The surname "Williams" is valid here only for the last generation. [2] His first name can be deduced from his father's patronymic, but nothing else about him is certain. I have been unable to find proof that his full name was John ap Edward, as claimed by Glenn in Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania. Of course, that also means that Glenn's suggested royal descent which goes along with that claim has not been sufficiently documented. [3] I have found no good reason to believe that she was the sister of the immigrant Hugh Roberts, as Glenn claims in Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania.
