Sue, It's great to have another of William's descendants on this list! It would be SO great to know of William's origins someday. If you are interested in Jane STEERE's life, you should obtain the "STEERE GENEALOGY, A record of the Descendants of John STEERE Who Settled in Providence, Rhode Island, About the Year 1660, With Some Account of the STEEREs of England" by James Pierce Root, Cambridge, 1890. I obtained my copy through Higginson's. Yes, Crandall's BLANCHARD'S OF RI was my introduction to the family. Anyone else of William's line left on this list...? There were several of us over time.
