Let me see if I can explain this and my way of thinking... I got from Leon that my stiles line went something like this.. 1.Me, 2. Ralph Charles Stiles Sr. 3.,Ralph Roy,Isreal, 4. Mathew,Stiles 5. John,Stiles 6. John Stiles 7. William Stiles 8. John Stiles 9. Isaac, Stiles 10. John Stiles 11. Thomas Stiles (Stylles) Jr., 12. Thomas Stiles 13. Edmond Stiles. I have a Thomas Stiles who married Maria. Thomas Stiles Sr. was born in 1550. Then there is his son Thomas Jr. who was born in February 7th, 1612 and it is said that he married Elizabeth Clarke. However everytime I try and piece all this together it gets jumbled. I am getting confused with the children between Thomas Sr. and Thomas Jr. and then trying to find information on Thomas Jr. born in 1612 it just seems like everywhere I look on the web he has disappeared or been forgotten. I hope you can make some sense out of all this babbling.. if not let me know.. If you can help me figure all this out I would be forever greatful. Thank you.
