My ancestors and relatives
It seems I have about 30 million relatives in the United States, and around the world.
Of these early immigrant ancestors I’m descended from the Cordell’s,
Macy’s, Coffin’s, Gardner’s, Starbuck’s, Swain’s, Worth’s, Bunker’s, Stanton’s,
Huddleston’s, Wing’s, Batchelder’s, Kimball’s, Reynolds, Case’s, Fish’s,
Gifford’s, Clarke’s, Johnson’s, Brown’s, Harrell’s, Pettis’, Lawton’s,
Wright’s, Cornell’s, Simmon’s, Pinkham’s, Shattuck’s, Wilbur’s, Latham’s,
Severance’s, Austin’s, Jones’s, Charles’s, Albertson’s, Anderson’s, Spencer’s,
Nelson’s, William’s, Pierce’s, Bailey’s, Birdsall’s, Nicholson’s, Winslow’s,
Barrow’s, Overman’s, Newby’s, Rundell’s, Thomas’s, Quinby’s, Haight’s,
Washburn’s, Scott’s, Rednap’s, Molynieux’s, Briggs, Wyatt’s, Newman’s, Tyler’s,
Webster’s, Lockwood’s, Sand’s (Sandy’s), Ray’s, Guthrie’s, Alcock’s, Ferris’,
Hutchinson’s, Shelley’s, Palgrave’s, Kent’s, Avery’s, Pringle’s, Kemp’s,
Wallis’, Bicknell’s, Mead’s, and many others, all in America before 1800, and
to the millions who are also descended from European Royalty lines.
Since I’m descended from King
Edward I of England, and his wife “Eleanor of Castile”, daughter of King
Ferdinand III, I also have Spanish ancestry. I’m descended from “El Cid”, a
Spanish hero, about 1000 AD. That makes me distant cousins to King Ferdinand,
and Queen Isabella who financed “the Columbus exploration” that led to finding
the Western Hemisphere. History can be interesting. This makes me descended
from the French King Charlemagne (780-820AD) 252 different ways. Family history
is very interesting.
This makes me related to Betty
Grable, Marilyn Monroe, Lizzie Borden, James Dean, Tennessee Williams, and many
other interesting people in history. This makes me related to Prince Charles of
Great Britain, Princess Diana, Sir Winston Churchill plus so many more.
When I last checked, I am related to 21 Presidents, from George Washington, & Thomas Jefferson, to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and including the Bush’s.
Also related to a number of presidential spouses, of course.
