The passengers on the ship Bevis, This William of Hants, is the source of the Rehoboth Carpenters. 1638. As you all know there was and second branch we call the Providence branch, From Richard of Wilts to William.of Providence 1635? The above is the American source and is the starting point of all your research. My family research is the English Branch from 920 to1999.as I stated before this has taken place over many years with no input from the internet but by hard work,and by visiting most of the family seats, spending many hundreds of hours reading and recording material. Because I live in the country I am researching, records are no further than 150 miles travelling. I have had problems with my server and apologise to any of you if I have not replied to your e-mails. Please contact me direct if you wish. note the change of my address. Can I leave you with two quotes One from my father in-law who was Gentleman in all senses of the word and a well known cancer research scientist. "If you cannot say anything good about a person say nothing " And one of my own that I told my children. " Always be Constructive not Destructive." and I sign off with one of my poems. My uncle Fred, went to bed, and woke up dead, so my aunt Mable said. Tony C.
