I can send you more information. Please contact me at amacleod@golder.com. The Gridley line can be traced back to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but I haven't been able to verify the link Henrie Gridley (Richard's grandfather) and the line back to Albertus. Deborah Hall: Father - Joshua Hall Grandfather - Issac Hall g-Grandfather- Isaac hall gg-Grandfather - Francis Hall ggg-Grandfather - Gilbert Hall One of my Davis-Cooper Cousins has actually beena able to become a double member of the Winthrope Society, which means we have two ancestors that sailed with the Winthrope Fleet in 1630 to Boston - Richard Gridley and Nicholas Knapp. Just enough information to be tantalizing. Hope to hear from you soon Allan MacLeod Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
