Thanks, I think. There you go with more questions. Is there DNA id on these different lines? As I look at the different levels of DNA tests, what level gives the best indicators? Also, there are currently 5 female relatives of my generation and one of my dad's, would their DNA shed any light on the lines? My dad's brother is still living as well, born in 1920.
For the SAR info, I have seen that item from registry in the early 1900's, I believe it was my Samuel who did that. I also believe it was he who put together the info sheet I am currently using. Interestingly, in that same book is a piece on a link through my mom's Almy line. This was about 30 years before my parent' met.
In reference to the Boston area and the census. I have found a census form from 1840 which lists Henry in Charlestown MA with 1 male age 10-15 yrs, 1 male 30-40, 2 female 5-10, 1 female 30-40, and 1 female 50-60. This corresponds to Henry and his family that I have listed before. The older female occurs again in the household in 1860 and is listed as Jane Stevenson, with birth state NJ. Now, John H has a daughter in 1866 and her name is Jennie Stevenson Brower. This makes me think that Jane is a relative. I'm not sure if she would be a direct relative; with a birth date about 1790, she would be at most 14 when Margaret Hawthorne, Henry's wife, is born. She may also just be family or a friend living with them. Still pursuing this one.
In the 1850 and 1860 census lists, Henry is listed as tailor and John as blacksmith. I don't know the reason for the move to the Boston area, which I put as about 1831. There was a growing textile and garment industry that area.
Back to searching, thanks again.
