Sorry, Cousin Marilyn, I connected with these Puritan folks a couple years back. My wife had an ancestor, Ralph Tompkins, who was a passenger on the True Love which arrived on Sept 25, 1635. My connection came with the earlier group. Thomas Matson and Amy Chambers in 1630. My Armstrongs didn't get here until 1803. I suspect you are correct about a Winthrop group on the net.
