Well, it looks like I can answer my own question. I checked in the Van Wagenen book (the Isaac Stearns one) and found the ancestry of T. S. Eliot. I've cut and pasted below a three generation outline leading up to T. S. Eliot. If anyone would like me to post the line further back, just ask. (It turns out that he leads all the way back to Isaac Stearns and his wife Mary Barker! ) Jeanne __________________________________ Descendants of Thomas Stearns 1 Thomas Stearns b: 17 October 1811 . +Charlotte Blood m: 1840 .. 2 Ellen Farley Stearns b: 29 September 1841 in Sterling, Massachusetts ...... +Henry L.
