What a wonderful historical vignette. It's wonderful you know so much about the history of your ancestors. Have you tried a DNA test? This can open a whole new can of worms (including lost siblings), but for anyone who's curious (and not worried about their clone being sold in a future black market), it's a treasure trove. Thank you for sharing this intimate portrait of your genealogical roots. 🌳

Hello my friend, @litguru.
No, I don't trust those services that collect DNA. 😄
Looking back is fun. It's not real, because so much of what we learn from the records comes from what someone else discovered. The information is only as reliable as their methodology. Still, it seems Thomas Baxter was probably my distant ancestor. When someone is notorious, as he was, there seem to be more resources.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting🌞
