    1. [NJUNION] Re:Supposed Royal Lines
    2. Harman Clark is right.... Someone sent me info that claimed my 8th g-grandfather's, Gov. Thomas Roberts, line descended through the royal line of King Edward IV and his mistress Elizabeth Wayle Lucy's daughter Elizabeth Plantagenet. Not only that, but the Robert's line was traced back to 1320. This same source claimed that Gov. Thomas Roberts wife, Rebecca Hilton's line also descended through the same royal line. That is when I started taking this royalty lineage stuff with a grain of salt. Thanks to Harman Clark I found out that Gov. Thomas Roberts parentage is unknown, and his wife Rebecca's last name is unknown. Alice Martin LaRue <<The "genealogies" of the mid 1800s to early 1900s are replete with these "royal descents". Some, like Schenck and Dunham, are fraudulent; others, like Wright, are just faulty or unproven lines, based on the pre-Jacobus genealogy that assume that people with similar surnames were somehow related. Some of these long-discredited lines are now being given new life on the Internet.>>
