Monmouth Richmond |
Did
Edward
Barber (ca. 1685–ca.
1743) of Monmouth Co., NJ and Lebanon Township, Hunterdon Co., NJ descend
from Francis1
Barber of Staten Island or another Barber immigrant? A free Y-DNA test may be
available for a known (or highly probable) descendant of Francis1
Barber who is willing to join the Barber Surname Y-DNA
Project in order to confirm or refute this
speculation. |

Brundage |

Onondaga Orange Putnam Ulster Westchester |
Was
Solomon
Brundage — b. NY, probably in Orange or Ulster Co., 29
Aug 1763; d. possibly at Newburgh, Orange Co. but probably in Fayetteville,
Manlius Township, Onondaga Co., NY 7 Sep 1831; as a probable brother of Nathaniel
W. Brundage (b. 1756) — a heretofore unknown son of Nathaniel5
Brundage (Joseph4-3,
John2-1) of North
Castle, Westchester, Co., NY or Nathaniel5 Brundage (Benjamin4, Daniel3, John2-1) of Phillips Upper
Patent [Putnam Co.,] NY? |
|
Burgess |
RI CT |
Washington Windham |
Who
were the immigrant ancestors of William
and Susannah (–?–) Burgess of Kingstown, RI? Some descendants of Thomas1 and Dorothy (–?–) Burgess of Sandwich, MA settled
in RI and in Windham Co., CT. As a resident of RI and a landowner in Windham
Co., did William also descend from Thomas1? |
|
Coddington |
NY
|
Ulster? |
How
did John
Coddington — b. NY; d. Hector, Schuyler Co., NY 12 Aug 1845
— descend from Stockdale1 Coddington of Hampton, Rockingham
Co., NH (as proven by a match on 67/67 Y-DNA markers)? The
eminent genealogist, John Insley Coddington, well
known for his countless contributions to The
American Genealogist, published an article in that journal on this family
entitled, “An Unconnected Coddington Family” (32:84). |

a heretofore unidentified daughter of James5 Dyer (Joseph4, William3,

Foster — b. ca. 1733, wife of Mathias Barber, Joseph Dawson and Daniel

Was
Dorothy
Gardner of Plymouth, MA — m. Plymouth 30 June 1741 Rev.
Ezra4 Whitmarsh (Ezra3,
John2-1) of Plymouth — identical
with “Dorothy, d. of James Gardner and mary [sic] his wife [Rev. James1 and
Mary (Thomas) Gardner of Marshfield, MA] was born January the 21st
1721/22” (Marshfield Vital Records, 30:152)? |

Gysberts |
NY |

The
parentage of Elisabeth Gysberts, wife of Jan/John2
Gerrits/Gerritsen
[Garrison] (son of Gerrit1
Jansen van Oldenburg and Clara
Matthys) is unknown. However, by a process of eliminating other
potential candidates, Phyllis Miller and I independently arrived at the same
point of speculation — was Elisabeth the otherwise unknown fourth “Child,
living in 1659 but not identified” of Gÿsbert1 Teunissen
and his first wife Aeltje Wouters?
Obviously, Elisabeth’s patronymic was Gysberts and
she named her eldest known daughter Aeltie. If this identification is correct, Elisabeth was
probably born before 1649 when Gÿsbert1 and Aeltje
arrived in the colony; otherwise, we would expect to find her baptism in the
New Amsterdam church. Cornelis3 Garretson,
son of Jan2 and Elisabeth, has no obvious ancestral predecessor — was
he named in honor of Cornelis1 Comegys, the
husband of (his maternal aunt?) Willempte2 Gÿsberts? |

Huggett |
England |
Sussex |
Was
Anne
(–?–) Streeter — wife of WilliamA
Streeter (ca. 1713–1787) of Dunnings Farm, East
Grinstead, Sussex — identical with Anne Huggett, daughter of Abraham
and Ann (Gummins) Huggett, christened at East Grinstead 10 April
1724? No
likely match for Anne Huggett has been found in
marriage or death records of Sussex, Surrey and nearby parishes in Kent. Abraham
Huggett, son of Abraham and Ann (Gummins) Huggett,
shared a property with WilliamA
Streeter from 1780 to 1785. In 1771 and 1773, an Elizabeth
Huggett witnessed the births of two of the Streeters’ grandchildren. Descendants:

Nicholson |
MA |
Essex Suffolk |
Was
Henry
Nicholson of Boston — b. 1682 or earlier; d. Boston,
after 1722; m. Boston 9 Jan 1702 Sarah Stratton, b. Watertown, MA
— a descendant of Edmund1 Nicholson of
Marblehead, MA or another Nicholson immigrant or was he an immigrant
himself? A free Y-DNA test may be available to a known (or highly probable)
descendant of Henry Nicholson of Boston or Edmund1 Nicholson who
is willing to join the Nicholson Surname Y-DNA Project in order to confirm or refute this
speculation! |

Who
were the parents of Joshua Porter of Ridgefield, Fairfield Co., CT, b. ca. 1730;
killed by the British during the American Revolution at Daniel Starr's
residence, Danbury, CT on Saturday, 26 April 1776? Joshua reportedly had a

willing to join the Porter Surname Y-DNA Project. |

(How)
did Mariam
Potter — b. RI 1789;
d. Town of Torrey, Yates Co., NY 12 August 1839; wife of George V.7 Hazard (Jonathan J.6-5, Jonathan4,
Thomas3, Robert2, Thomas1),
b. RI 1787, d. Dresden, Town of Torrey, Yates Co., NY 18 Sep 1854 — descend
from Nathaniel1 and Dorothy (–?–)
Potter of Rhode Island? “George
V. Hazard married Mariam, daughter of John Potter of Rhode Island. She was a
relative of Judge William Potter’s family…” (Cleveland, History of Yates
County, 682–683). Judge
William5 Potter (John4-3, Ichabod2,
Nathaniel1) was the son of John4 and Mercy
(Robinson) Potter. |

Fairfield
and Litchfield |
Did
Hannah
Reed — wife of Capt.
Ephraim3 Mariner (William2,
Josué1), b. Colchester,
New London, CT 1735; d. Sharon, Litchfield Co., CT 1810 — descend from John1
Reed of Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT? From
“Reed–Niles–Capin Family Histories” (Newell
A. Williams, [November 1980]), Elias3 Reed (Thomas2, John1) went from Norwalk,
Fairfield Co., CT to Salisbury, Litchfield Co., CT in 1738 as a Proprietor;
his brother John3 Reed soon followed. “John (3) and Elias
(3) of Salisbury were the ancestors of that numerous portion of the family
who made their homes in that town and in Canaan, Cornwall and Sharon.” |

Richey |
NY |
NYC+ |
Who were the
parents of John1 Richey “the Elder,” d. (then Mansfield Township,
Sussex Co., now) Franklin Township, Warren Co., NJ in 1776? “The Richey’s [sic] came to New York from the North of Ireland about 1738, some
of them settled in New York City and went into the Hotel business, the rest
came to Asbury…” |
|
Smith |
NJ |
Hunterdon |
Was
Robert
Smith — b. circa 1762 or earlier; d. Bethlehem
Township, between 8 February 1812 and 27 November 1813 — a descendant of John1
Smith of Bedford, Long Island or some other immigrant? In
alphabetical order, Robert's sons bore the given names of Asher, David, John,
Joseph, Robert, and William; Asher is certainly the most distinctive name
among these so it is speculated that Robert may have been a kinsman of some
degree to Asher5 Smith (Jasper4,
John3, Jasper2, John1). |
|
Stevens |
MA ME |
Suffolk |
Who were the immigrant
ancestors of Thomas and Ester/Esther (–?–) Stevens of Boston? They
were the parents of the Thomas Stevens who married Sarah
Place in Boston in 1696 and research indicates that the elder Thomas
Stevens and Erasmus Stevens of Boston were
brothers or other kinsmen who may have originated in Maine. A free Y-DNA test may be available to known (or
highly probable) descendant of Thomas Stevens who is willing to join the Stephens-Stevens Y-DNA Testing Project to confirm or refute this
speculation. |

Streeter |
England |
Surrey Sussex |
Where
RichardB
and Elizabeth (–?–) Streeter of Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, England
resided prior to their arrival in the parish is unknown. Were they identical
with the Richard “Streator” and Elizabeth Humphrey
who were married at Charlwood, Surrey on 10 October 1708? They had seven
children christened at Charlwood between 1710 and 1724: John, Elizabeth,
William, Ann, Sarah, Richard, and Thomas. With the exception of William
Streeter (baptized 5 March 1714/15 as the “son of Richard Streeter”),
all of their sons died in infancy. If
WilliamA
Streeter of Dunnings Farm was the son of Richard
and Elizabeth (Humphrey) Streeter christened at Charlwood, then,
aside from naming his eldest son after himself, he named his sons following
the birth order of his deceased brothers. No other match for WilliamA
Streeter of Dunnings Farm has been found in all of Sussex, Surrey
and nearby parishes in Kent. Descendants:
