If you have information on his ancestors, etc. would you let me know and respond to [email protected] For some time I have been searching for the identity of Zephon Ames who married Elizabeth Young, a fifth generation descendant of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower. I recently came across an Ames genealogy at the Sturgis Library in Barnstable MA written by Walcott Ames. He traces Zephon Ames back to your Thomas Ames of Dorsetshire, claiming he married Millicent ??, and died 23 May 1614 in Fordington. Thomas and Millicents children: Richard *Anthony b. 1595, d Marshfield MA 1686,m c. 1615 Margery Pierce Alice John Anna Anthony Ames was a proprieter of Charlestown in 16344, moved to Hingham and was made freeman 9 Mar 1637. He died in Hingham. Children of Anthony and Margery: Millicent - b 1618 m. William Sprague John -b 1618 *Mark b.c 1620, m Elizabeth Andrews Persis b. 1621, m Michael Pierce Elizabeth b. 1624, m.

But he has Elizabeth dying in 1717, and Anthony marrying Grace Oldham in 1724. This conflicts with evidence of a deed cosigned by Zephon and wife Elizabeth in 1729 recorded in The Mayflower Descendant. Unfortunately here are no proofs or sources. There is some more detail if you are interested. I would certainly be grateful for anyone who can support this line of descent! Charlie Bearse

Hi Charlie Wonderful stuff!! I'm searching for a Thomas AMES from central England born around 1806. However, as I've been searching my maternal side (my mother was Inez Irene AMES) for 25 years I've come across a lot of English AMES genealogy, but I'm so very stuck on my Thomas! Have you read/seen 'The genealogical memoranda of the family of AMES' by Reginald AMES. It may add to your knowledge. Try http://patriot.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/FH16&CISOSTART=1,81 Have you exhausted the AMES' on this webpage: http://www.quintinpublications.com/familygenealogies_als.html Best wishes Carole >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], >[email protected] >Subject: Re: [AMES] Thomas AMES b abt 1548 in England >Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:52:46 EST >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from lists9.rootsweb.com ([66.43.27.45]) by >bay0-mc3-f13.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.2444); Mon, >11 Dec 2006 18:55:59 -0800 >Received: from lists9.rootsweb.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])by >lists9.rootsweb.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kBC2sjMM006484for ><[email protected]>; Mon, 11 Dec 2006 19:55:39 -0700 >Received: from mail.rootsweb.com (mail.rootsweb.com [192.168.65.34])by >lists9.rootsweb.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kBBKrmC7023961;Mon, 11 >Dec 2006 13:53:48 -0700 >Received: from imo-m17.mx.aol.com (imo-m17.mx.aol.com [64.12.138.207])by >mail.rootsweb.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kBBKrK2N021122;Mon, 11 Dec >2006 13:53:23 -0700 >Received: from [email protected] imo-m17.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v38_r7.6.) >id e.cbe.2f5bdec (48600);Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:52:48 -0500 (EST) >X-Message-Info: LsUYwwHHNt2wxMyAsknMhU9dI8/UQHlk5NxjBO3KvQM= >X-Mailer: 9.0 Security Edition for Windows sub 5331 >X-Spam-Flag: NO >X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.57 on 192.168.65.34 >X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.7 >X-BeenThere: [email protected] >X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.7 >Precedence: list >List-Id: <ames.rootsweb.com> >X-Loop: [email protected] >List-Unsubscribe: ><http://lists9.rootsweb.com/mailman/listinfo/ames>,<mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> >List-Archive: <http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=ames> >List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> >List-Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=help> >List-Subscribe: ><http://lists9.rootsweb.com/mailman/listinfo/ames>,<mailto:[email protected]?subject=subscribe> >Errors-To: [email protected] >Return-Path: [email protected] >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 12 Dec 2006 02:55:59.0226 (UTC) >FILETIME=[0D3705A0:01C71D99] > >In a message dated 12/5/2006 7:02:37 P.M.
