Dear List: As many of you know, I have been researching various allied families and lines from Genesee County. These include the Thompsons (originally Thomson), Matice (or Mattice), and Underhill. I just sent in my lineage chart and application to join the "Underhill Society." As I have learned in recent weeks with enormous excitement, I am a lineal descendant of Capt. John Underhill of the Winthrop Fleet, arriving in MA in 1630. Nellie Underhill Crossen (1861-1938) was a multi-great-granddaughter of the Captain! :) Plus, check this out: One of Capt. John's ancestors was Anne Wynter--and through her, I may trace my direct lines back to William the Conqueror, several lines of Saxon kings, and to Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor! Talk about a genealogist's dream! Wowza! Thanks to all who offered advice on research. Oh yes, I also know Nellie's mother's name: Louisa Jones. Nellie's middle name was Louisa. Anybody know about the Jones family in Genesee? Best, John John F. Crossen ===== "Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude and good company." - Lord Byron (1788-1824) "One more shot for the honour of Down!" - Rollicking Rollo (1766-1814) Hero of County Down, IR __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
