I think we'd should compare notes directly, Patricia. My husband's great-grandfather, Swain Tilson, and John O. Tilson were brothers. Which of John's children do you come from?
Below are a couple generations from my current files [not too up-to-date and without sources or notes]. Hope you can follow it; some computer gen reports don't copy too well.
