I was very fortunate in that I had a great aunt that did a lot of research and wrote it all down. Followed my Charles Wallaces's wife back to the Mayfllower and got documentation and was in the Mayflower Society. I had the info and didn't know it. I thought it was just research and I was hot on the trail of someone else when I received it. Thought, well she has done that branch so I don't have to worry about that right now. Good Golly, I never expected all that info. though very glad to have it. You have a William and John, but then there is that Hugh that is not fitting with my boys, at least as I know the story. and they were definitely into the textile industry.
