I have recently found a link to the Plantagenet's (Edward I, King of England, d. 1307) through General James Cudworth (1605-1681), a well known early MA colonist. I am aware of a partial fraud compiled by Mrs. Harriet Bainbridge de Salis. However, this was later corrected, and proven, by Debrett Ancestry Research, commissioned by Ms. Jane E. Grunwell, as stated on pg. 337 of the book, Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants. I am wondering if anyone else is descended from Cudworth. I am related to him through my grandmother who was a Pratt. I originally thought I was connected to "royalty" through her mother's line, Pierce (John Pierce, 1588) but after questioning the person who uploaded the GEDCOM and used his own research as many sources, said the connection of John to the Percy's (and thus on to Plantagenet, and Edward I) was pure speculation and conjecture. LOL! That was, thankfully, an early queue to check sources for me.as I resume my genealogical hobby after 35 years hiatus. Thank you.and interested in any thoughts this may conjure up. Jim Wormelle
