Could you provide (at > least) a few savoury details? > Hi Barry; The immigrant John Tefft - b c. 1614 Horsmonden, Kent, England, married Mary Barber. They had four children, Mary, Samuel, Joshua, and Tabitha. Joshua was the one who was drawn and quartered, and had his head stuck on a post outside Richard Smith's trading post. My John Tefft who married Mary Reynolds was John4 (John3, Samuel2, John). There are six pages on the CD #180 on the Gereardy family. They are taken from"Genealogies of RI Families, Vol 1, Phillip Gereardy of New Amsterdam, Landlord of the City Tavern and His RI Descendants. If you don't have this, I can scan them for you.
