Susan: I am distantly related to John of Fairfield. Would there be any benefit to me or the group if I was part of the test. I come in through Abigail Barlow, who married Samuel Denton. After that the family names were: Martha Denton m. Jona Halstead Abigail Halstead, Vandervoort, Fridley and Hatch. I am many generations off and other names in between. Thanks for all the information you have supplied over the years. I guess I am part of the silent majority who share the John Barlow family history, but quite distantly.
