Hi Listers, My Grandchildren are 9th Generation from our First Fleeters William Douglas (Alexander) and Mary Groves (Prince of Wales). We descend from the eldest child for several generations, which helps to gather an extra generation here and there. Our First Fleeters' daughter Elizabeth was only 16 when she married.
