Gateway 'One-upmanship" was-Re: What this list is - on "insu

Thanks, Leo.

Actually, perhaps it might be useful to clarify terms a bit. Perhaps I
ought to have stated "ancient/royal gateway" ancestors as distinct from
"simple gateways". Those of us with substantial 17th century ancestry in
America have *many, many* "simple" gateways. The gateways I listed
earlier - about which John Brandon was commenting - were more precisely
the "royal/ancient" variety. I estimate that with about 3/5 of my
ancestry in America by 1650, I have perhaps 100-150 "simple" and
"ancient/royal" gateway ancestors. A precise list and accounting of them
all would occupy me for some time! Ap project for next year's rainy
California winter!

All best,

Tony

Dear Tony,


Generalising is such a silly thing, glad you do not subscribe to it. I
know
of one person who descends from _ALL_ of the following Gateway
Ancestors:

Abigail Ford
William Holton
Samuel Allen
Thomas Woodford
Mary Blott
Henry Woodward
Thomas Bishop
William Cogswell
John Fobes
Edward Walden
James Morgan
Thomas Parke
Dorothy Thompson
Augustine Warner
Col. George Reade
Adam Hawkes
Mrs. Ann Hutchinson
William Gager
John Luff
Robert Parke
Martha Chaplin
Alice Freeman

Can anyone out-do this one? :-)
With best wishes

"I suspect all of us, with the possible exception of Leslie, have
approximately the same amount of colonial ancestry" .

Actually, John, I don't understand why you would assume this at all.
There is huge latitude for disparity in this regard.

I have noticed that most people with gateways don't usually have
more
than 3 or 4. But, I know many folks with more. It's just a
genealogical
crap-shoot!
