Notes

Several of these family lines have been subjected to question and revision since I first put this page up.  The ancestry of Henry Pierson has been radically revised.  Henry Sherman was undoubtedly part of the Sherman family of Yaxley, but was apparently not the son of Thomas Sherman and Jane Waller.  Also, George Laurence of Watertown was probably not the son of John Laurence of Groton -- and in any case, the extensive medieval ancestry for the Laurences that can be found on the Net is apparently a hoax.
