His son John was born around 1608 in Staffordshire, England My line then goes Jonathan - Jonathan Jr - Joshua - Jethro ( moved to Pittstown, Rensselaer County, NY ) - then Howland ( There were 11 children, but I could not find any Mathew ) - John C. - Wallace H. - Timothy - Wallace E. who was my grandfather. I was wondering if you went beyond Ralph yet. Also who and when did part of the family come to Michigan ???
