Alice is a fourth great-grandmother.  All the sources cited to herein I wrote, including the Thomas Bradbury article which was based on the notes and a draft of Marshall Kirk.  So the one hole here is obviously the parentage of #7, Patience Hartford.  Also, I would like to write something up on the Stanton family of New Hampshire which has been long overshadowed by the larger Stanton family of Connecticut (which ironically I also descend from).   These articles all progressed from one to another.  I wrote about that already as the domino effect.

I did a simple family tree for my hairdresser last fall when WDYTYA first aired. She was so excited by the show, and I helped her trace back to her Leighton ancestors. Her surname was Hartford, and that name was too difficult to do as just a favor. Hartford would need some serious research.

yes, the Hartford family is on my incredibly long list of things to do. Im still amazed at how many early families of New England still have no treatment in print.

Like the idea of document images used on blogs. I find they make great visuals to a post. I use them regularly. Good information. Thanks.
