Posted on February 12, 2013 1 Comment
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 […]

They are WHEATON, HOWELLS, MALLENBY, RAINES and HANCOCK. Working backwards from the non WHEATON lines with the most recent ancestry of each first. […]

In my continuing quest to construct a real identity for Robert I went looking for the reference to his occupation and I thought I would post here. It comes from a genealogy full of inaccuracies: “Lincoln, Pearce, Porter & Related Families” by William Ensign Lincoln 1930 Pittsburg, PA. More specifically the beginning of the section […]
