We all seem to be related many times over from the lines listed. Jeremiah Howes is my 9th great, Richard Sears my 10th great. Two of the Bearse children Pricilla and Joseph are our lines as well also. Let us know when we can purchase the Howes book please. Thank you Wanda of ME Hi Cousin Wanda, For sure, I descend from two of Augustine's children; Joseph and Sarah. Charlie B
