Richard Bowen (1594?-1675) of Rehoboth, Massachusetts and His Descendants Volume 1 Just a few moments ago I received a copy of this book that I have known about for about a year but finally decided to purchase. (Published in 2011) All I can say is this book’s title is almost misleading as I had decided […]

As promised I have updated the Relationship chart for 111 Markers Group B. This shows how closely related this group is and why David […]

In Wheaton Group B the winner is David Joe WHEATON! What do I mean winner you didn’t even know there was a contest?

Jean and I have been working on data on the first 6 generations of Robert Wheaton descendants and all the 1790 Census data and that got me thinking (always dangerous). A very interesting book by Debbie Kennett published last year called “The Surnames Handbook” led me to a website for surname research thought you might […]
Group B How can they all be related?
Posted on February 7, 2013 Leave a Comment
We have 5 surnames in Group B that seem to be in some cases worlds apart. How can they be related? I am not saying how exactly but I hope this helps.
