Edward Raynsford, Boston merchant & descendant of Edmund "Crouchback," is my 10th great-grandfather. A couple of years ago I visited King's Chapel in downtown Boston, but I was not successful in finding his monument (I had limited time to read the stones, which were badly weathered). At any rate, here is what I have for the ancestry of Edward: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=plantagenet&id=I0520 If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me privately (email address found on my Rootsweb site): All the best, Kevin "Grace Bliss Smith" <gracemi@comcast.net> To: PLANTAGENET-DESCENDANTS-PROJECT-L@rootsweb.com cc: 04/10/2004 11:03 PM Subject: [PDP] Elizabeth de VERNON and Margaret Swynfen Please respond to PLANTAGENET-DESCENDANT S-PROJECT-L Elizabeth de Vernon is my 13th great-grandmother.

Kevin and all, Thanks for sharing your online link. I will check the earlier generations to see if you have anything additional to my info or vice-versa. From a glance, we seem to have the same information. I descend from Edward Raynsford's son Jonathan (wife= Mary Sunderland) from Edward's second marriage to Elizabeth ____. For anyone else researching this family, there are 3 articles from NEHGR which may help you: "Edward Raynsford of Boston: English Ancestry and American Descendants" by James A. Rasmussen. NEGHR Vol. 139: pp. 225-238. The above article continued, pp. 296-315. And more recently: "Plantagenet Ancestry of Edward Rainsford (1609-1680) of Boston" by Douglas Richardson. NEGHR Vol. 154, pp. 219-226. The third article shows the line of descent from Henry III to Edward Raynsford.
