According to the latest information of those three men, descending from three different 'sons of Francis' there are now only TWO different 'genetic lines' rather than the three I spoke of earlier. While I am confident that the information was at one time correct, it is VERY CLEAR that the information I gave earlier is NOT CORRECT NOW. THERE ARE TWO GENETIC LINES NOT THREE., I apologize for misleading the readers! (and MOST OF ALL, for not checking the latest facts before posting my previous message) herb nichols

So, if we do have a link it's probably with the Knapp, Ferris, Hoyt connection. My Ferris married a Hill. Unfortunately, I haven't done any of my own research on these lines. I'm depending on work that some distant Hill cousins have done, and haven't proven my own link to it yet. All in good time. :) Nice to hear from you again.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TZ.2ADE/4860.2 Message Board Post: Dick: For upwards of 20 years or more, a group of people have been researching the Nichols of Fairfield County Connecticut. This group has expended a tremendous amount of time, and energy and -likely dollars to establish their individual -and collective- 'pedigrees. Over the last several years, certainly since 1999, several members of this group have been quite active on the net, helping various folks make their OWN connections to this figure -"Francis Nichols of Stratford" In the process, I think it can be said, that hundreds if not thousands of folks, have crafted pedigrees for themselves which lead back to Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut. Something new has happened. In the last 6-9 months three men in this group, men with very clear 'pedigrees' to Francis of Stratford, have had their DNA tested. The results are in: None of the three men could possibly be genetically related to each other for THOUSANDS of years. THOUSANDS of years. They could not POSSIBLY descend from ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL for thousands of years, let alone some specific Francis Nichols, who is sometimes documented as living in Stratford,Ct c1639-1659. To the best of my knowledge, not one member of that group has EVER made a public statement to that effect, EVER. So, here we have on the one hand, o apparently knowledgable people giving detailed information about people's connection to Francis of Stratford. o on the other hand nobody seems willing to acknowledge that DNA PROVES BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that three of these 'Francis Nichols descendants' COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO EACH OTHER at all, let alone descend from one man named Francis Nichols.

Probably several times over. My ggrandparents in Dutchess Co. NY were Francis Green and Catherine Traver. Catherine's brother was Ludlow Traver, who married Carrie Bouton. My ggrandparents in Fairfield Co. CT were Jacob W. Ostrander and Sarah E. Seely. The Seelys were also original Stamford settlers and are intermarried with all the rest of those early families. My Green grandmother married my Ostrander grandfather in Norwalk in 1894. What drew the Greens to Connecticut in 1887 is one of my big puzzles. Traver family history is long in NY and Francis was an immigrant. I keep finding connections between my Greens and these old CT families, so wonder if the answer is there somewhere. Am also trying to find links to my grandmother's first husband, Robert Lathrop. He was in Stamford, then NYC after he split with my grandmother. Some kind of big upheaval happend after the Greens came to Norwalk. Loreen

I am also descended from the Knapps. My 9th ggrandparents were Zerubbabel Hoyt and Hannah Knapp of Norwalk, CT. The Hoyts, Knapps, and Ferrises were all original settlers of Stamford.

Edna Bouton was the second wife of my grandfather, Charles Miller Gray.

Hello: Is anyone researching the family of Patrick Ryan and Catharine McKue/Hue/Cue of Bethel? They are the grandparents of Thelma Catharine Ryan "Pat" Nixon. I have found a reference to them being from Co Mayo but I can not determine when they immigrated to America nor do I know their parents. What Catholic churches were in Bethel or surrounds in the late 1800s? What ceneteries should be looked at to try to find their death dates? In 1880 their Census entry is as follows: Patrick RYAN 47 IRE Works in Hat factory (which one? any records available?) IRE IRE Catharine wife 43 IRE Keeping house IRE IRE Thomas son 21 CT hat factory IRE IRE John son 19 CT hat factory IRE IRE Mary E. dau 17 CT hat factory IRE IRE William son 14 CT at school IRE IRE Catharine dau 12 CT at school IRE IRE Michael son 5 CT at school IRE IRE Francis 4 CT ---------------- IRE IRE Ann dau 2 CT --------------- IRE IRE In 1860 a Michael McKue was living in the household as brother in law. Any info on the spouses of the children appreciated. William M Ryan was the father of Pat Ryan Nixon. Thanks, Steven C. Perkins -- Steven C.

Aug. 11, 1735, Fairfiled Co., Ct) & Sarah Lewis, II (b. Jan. 2, 1734/35) that was born/bap (not sure which, but prob. bap) on May 7, 1764 along with brother, Issaac. So, Lewis and Isaac could be twins, or quite likely were just baptized the same day. I have Lewis' d.o.d. as Jul. 12, 1841, but no p.o.d. My notes state that he was buried in the Old Clinton Burial Ground, Clinton, Oneida, NY. His wife was Amy Curtis, b. c. 1776, died Feb. 26, 1839, bur: Old Clinton Burial Ground, Clinton, Oneida, NY. Lewis and Amy had at least 3 children: Juliana, b. Mar. 5, 1789, Charles, (b. 1800 and Barnabas A., b. Jan. 1, 1806, Ogden, Monroe, NY & died Dec. 23, 1864). Here are my notes, but keep in mind the WFT citation could very well be suspect. LINE: ISAAC, JOSEPH, RICHARD, ISAAC, ISAAC, FRANCIS - SEVENTH GENERATION Note: Jeffrey's info conflict's with Dick Halsey's info who has Barnabas as the son of John & Naomi Nichols born 20 yrs. later.
