Hello, John, <<Attached is what I have on the Morton descendancy line.>> The ancestry of George Morton is unknown. Robert Charles Anderson in his "The Great Migration Begins" gives as his origin simply "Leiden", which refers to his point of departure for these shores only. He was born "by about 1587 based on date of marriage", according to Anderson.. >>The Carpenters after about 1440 are fairly clear of who was whom. << It's the "fairly clear" which bothers me <smile> Are there original records to back up the information on these generations? All too frequently information was repeated from author to author without regard to actual citations. "The great Migration Begins" has an entry for Priscilla Carpenter, and she is mentioned as having been "born perhaps about 1598, daughter of Alexander Carpenter of Wrington, Somersetshire, and was one of five sisters who came to New England, or married men who came to New England, or both." Alexander Carpenter was a witness at Amsterdam to a marriage in 1600, and he was at Leiden by 1611. Anderson mentions no ancestry for him. >>The current discussion involves the time period of about 1250 to about 1400 AD.<< ...and a very interesting discussion it is! Claudia Cridland
