So I've added tabs that have pedigrees for each of my grandparents. I am currently working on a few of my ancestors and have had little luck. My focus has been on my paternal ancestors for the past couple of years. They are:
Jane Murray - wife of Adam Snow Howard. Jane is my 3rd ggrandmother.
Hannah Hovey - wife of Benoni Howard. For many years we thought her maiden name was Dana because an extracted index card listed it as such. Then in a compilation book we found her name as Hance. However, a couple of years ago I came across a death record of an previously unknown (to us) son, Francis Howard that listed Benoni Howard as the father and Hannah Hovey as the mother.
"Vermont, Vital Records, 1760-1954," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11821-65359-9?cc=1784223&wc=13971167 : accessed 29 Dec 2013), 004357256 > image 5204 of 6278.
Subsequently, I found her original marriage record in the Pomfret, Vermont vital records that showed her maiden name as Hovey. Previously, all we had was the extraction of this record by the Town Clerk that showed her name as Dana. I don't have a scanned image of it yet but will include it shortly.
Sarah or Julia Bernard - wife of Eugene Howard. Sarah or Julia is my 2nd ggrandmother and was born in France.
John Henry Renneker - husband of Louisa Catherine Weyman. John is my 3rd ggrandfather and he immigrated from Germany, most likely from the area in and around Hanover. He was naturalized in 1842, shortly before his marriage to Louisa.
Daniel Trezevant. Daniel is not listed on the pedigree chart posted but he is 3 generations further back from Reverend Gabriel William Wayne. Daniel was a French Huguenot. I know there is information on him at the Huguenot Society of South Carolina in Charleston that I am hoping will tell us how he arrived, rather he came directly from France, or like so many other Huguenots, first went to the Netherlands or England before proceeding to America.
If anyone has information they could share that would shed some light on these individuals our family would greatly appreciate it.
