Association, Wethersfield, CT); and Mary Walton Ferris, Dawes-Gates
Ancestral Lines (n.p. 1931, 1943).

Thanks for this. Two things I would add to such a handlist are: brief
statement of what the alleged gateway or royal line has been, and where
& when it first (not most recently, because such things are always
recycled, somewhere) appeared.

Further entries & comments welcome; I'll set aside a moment to collate &
format some past & present posts into a sample list sometime soon...

I agree with including the specifics of the incorrect or unsubstantiated
line. This is very helpful when the same line reappears with apparent
authority. In addition, some immigrants have both bogus and valid lines,
which need to be distinguished.

I suppose you could add an ancestor of mine, William Gayer of
Nantucket. He was a proven brother of Sir John Gayer (d. 1711) of
Bombay (for whom see DNB and ODNB), but Gary Roberts notes in NEHGR
141:106, "The parentage of William Gayer and his brother, Sir John
Gayer, Governor of Bombay, is unknown." This isn't quite true--NEHGR
31:298 reprints a 1694 letter from his mother Jane Gayer of Plymouth,
England--but close enough, I guess.

Since Jane Gayer's letter mentions "your Uncle Land" and "your Uncle
Lame" (in uncertain orthography, I guess), the following marriage
record from the IGI may be of interest:
William Gayer to Joan Lane, 30 June 1637, Saint Andrew, Plymouth
