First, I would rather not use the term "infamous". It indicates that Susanna was in the wrong. There is much said about her in Salem and she is depicted as one of the strongest and most brave of the poor victims of the hysteria. Now, having attempted to "protect" my ancestor, I am really interested in this source. Can anyone help? Is this reliable? I have other lines that might be prove a Plantagenet descendancy, but I don't feel strongly about the sources for those either. I look forward to further information on this subject. Thanks. Marilyn

I'd be delighted if this lineage could be documented (I'm descended from the third North sister, Sarah who married an Oldham), but I'm not very hopeful. For starters, there was an article on Richard North which appeared several years ago in TAG (vol. 68, no. 2, 1993 according to what I've found on line -- I'm writing from work so none of my files are at hand) which could only document his ancestry back a generation or two (at the most). Secondly, Richard North does not appear in either edition of Gary Boyd Roberts' work on "Immigrants of Royal Descent" and while he doesn't attempt to follow immigrants who were unfortunate enough to not have even one "famous" descendant, Richard North would more than meet his criteria, so I'm forced to conclude that Richard North's non-appearance indicates that no such royal descent is documented -- otherwise Roberts' would have snapped him up. Jeff Duvall P.S. Marilyn, are you same Marilyn I used to correspond with a few years ago about the Gullions, Headys, etc? If so, guess that makes two of us nice to run across you again...
