In the process, I discovered a lot of "new" information on their parents: Jonathan Ransford-5 MINER (Jonathan-4, Thomas-3, Manassah-2, Thomas-1) of Windsor, Berkshire County, Massachusetts who married Esther-5 ALLYN (Samuel-4, Robert-3, John-2, Robert-1). James-5 DYER (Joseph-4, William-3, Christopher-2, William-1) of Plainfield, Hampshire Co., MA who married Dorothy-5 WHITMARSH (Ezra4-3, John1-2). This "new" information includes important corrections and additions to the following sources (in chronological order): Lora Altine Woodbury Underhill, Descendants of Edward Small [Cambridge, Massachusetts: Privately Printed at The Riverside Press; 1910] The Groton Avery Clan [Cleveland, Ohio; 1912] John Augustus Miner, Thomas Minor, Descendants 1608-1981 [Trevett, Maine; 1981] To access my updated MINER & DYER documentation, please click on the following links. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/miner.pdf http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/dyer.pdf Further additions and corrections will be greatly appreciated!
