Below are listed the principal names in my direct ancestry as I have so far determined them. What I know about them is filed in REUNION-7 and ENDNOTE 3.0 databases, and am happy to share that information. The files also include thousands of names of other descendants of my direct ancestors; if you have an interest in any of the families listed, feel free to inquire.
NOTE: Almost all of my ancestors in these families are in England and Massachusetts from the 1400s into the 1800s. My WILBURS moved to California in the 1860s, where they joined with the MAYS, who apparently came direct from "Prussia" [Germany or nearby].
ALDIS/ALDUS, BERT, BRIGGS, BURT, CHASE, CLAPP, CLEVELAND, COLLINS, CRISPE, DEAN(E), FISHER, FISKE, GODBOLD, GOOCH, HATCH, HATHAWAY, LINCOLN, MAY, NEAL(E), NEWLAND, NORTON, ODDING, PRATT, PRAY, SHERMAN, SIMMONS, STRAIT [also Nova Scotia], WESTCOTT [also Nova Scotia], WETHERELL/WITHERALL, WHITE, WILBUR/WILBORE, WILLIAMS, WINN, WINSLOW, WOODWARD.
The MILLWARD side of my family [my maternal line] is more complicated geographically and chronologically than the WILBUR line. There is an early New England group that started in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, moved into Connecticut, then to western Massachusetts, to Upstate New York, and on to "Mormon country" in Utah and Idaho. Another group came into colonial Virginia, worked through the Carolinas to Kentucky, and eventually west to Utah and Idaho. A final group were latecomers [late 19th Century] from England, Wales and Scotland, most of them Mormon converts who went directly to the Mountain West. The MILLWARDS joined with the WILBURS in California in the 1930s.
