Hi Mary Lee, My husband is descended from George Parkhurst and Phebe Leete's daughter Phebe, who married Thomas Arnold. He descends from both Thomas and Phebe's oldest son Richard and their youngest Eleazar - the latter through the female line via the Ballous. He is descended from both Tomasine Frost and her sister, whose name for the moment escapes me. Also from Edmund Rice and I haven't yet figured out those Carters. And from Henry Howland, brother of John Howland of Mayflower fame. Henry missed the boat! Gary Boyd Roberts always tells everyone, "Bill Arnold has all the blue blood, Marianne married 'up'!" But I wouldn't trade my starving shirt-tail Irish for all the blue blood out there. They were dealt lousy hands in life, rose to meet them and survived. I'm very proud of them. Sarah Palin has a wonderful American ancestry. I hope someone sorts it all out for her and presents her with the account. I disagree with her, but she is a remarkable young woman, with much to be admired. Marianne
