Hi: For anyone who descends from Benjamin 1 Nye who settled at Sandwich and m. Katherine Tupper... The NEHGS Register Oct. 2004 and Jan 2005 has a two part article on the ancestry of Benjamin. It goes over some of the claims made in "A Genealogy of the Nye Family", 1907, by George H. Nye and Frank E. Best. If you don't subscribe, check your local library to see if they subscribe. I have two "maybe" Nye lines that are a definite work in progress! Chris Chirokas Westford, MA
