----------------------------------Snip--------------------------------- > Hi all, > Does this mean that we may be loosely related to the Boone family > through the Savage family? > Carole Hi Carole & all, While I consider my sources and references (where they exist at all) for this time period quite "iffy" I believe the marriage of Maud SWYNNERTON and Sir John SAVAGE to be reliably documented. If we ignore our other questionable connection(s) around MA John that we have been discussing on this List lately, then Maud is supposedly a distant cousin of ours (3C18R in my case). My records do show Sir John SAVAGE & Maud with a daughter Maud (4C17R) but I had no spouse (until your message) and no issue. Should all this be correct then your question answers itself and your wording "loosely related" would seem to be appropriate. If you , or anyone else out there, have any data (ancestors or descendants) for Sir Thomas BOOTH I would love to add it to what I already have. I'll bet I have something you would like in exchange.
