"At most living memory endures for a hundred years or so. Thereafter, even the barest outline of the past is forgotten, unless it is recorded in writing..."
--John Morris in Londinium: London in the Roman Empire, p. 205.
"To trace lineage, to love and record the names and actions of those without whom we never could have been. . . . all this is implied in ancestry and the love of it,..." Westminster Review, July 1823

My favorite part of researching my family history is the stories that have been passed down through diaries, letters and word of mouth. Though not always completely accurate, they give insight into the lives of those telling the stories and those about whom the stories are written. I wanted to share these stories with others who might find them interesting. I have included an Outline Descendant Chart and an Ancestry Chart to help tell who's connected to who. This is a "work in progress". I will be revising and adding to this web site periodically.
