Biography
I grew up in Woodstock, Connecticut. I first moved out of the area when I got married to an active-duty military officer. We have been on the move ever since. We are currently in Ohio.
I started my family tree about 20+ years ago when no one at my paternal family reunion could tell me what area in Canada we originally came from. Ancestry.com has helped me find documents and helped me store my tree for future generations. I also have put the tree on Family Search and now on WikiTree.
I am hard of hearing, so I have a difficult time calling people on the phone, but love to visit and write to historical societies and town halls. I have proved my husband's Mayflower line, and he has been a Mayflower Society member since 2005. I am currently working on getting him into the Society of the Cincinnati.
I love to analyze original genealogical documents to see what is written and how it is written. If there is an indexed transcription, I have learned that it came from an original document and you just have to find it.
I am currently looking at 1700s probate records and trying to incorporate them into the WT profiles.

Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 12, 2024, to let us know about your interest:
1. Would you like to continue as a PGM project team member?;
2. Do you have any suggestions for PGM Project priorities in the next year (optional)?;

Please respond to this comment on your profile, or if you'd like, send a private message to either Bobbie (Madison) Hallor S (Hill) Willson.
Thanks for all you do for PGM and WikiTree!
Regards,
Bobbie and Sharon, Co-Leaders, Puritan Great Migration Project
I found additional information about the Brown family while doing my wife's genealogy, using the Family Search web site. This may be helpful, but you will have to review their data. The Brown cemetery in Foster, Rhode Island is difficult to find, but it is very interesting. If you need additional information, please send me an email. John
I see you may be related to me through the Harden family. My Mayflower Associations - Bradford, Brewster, Latham, Mullins, Alden, Peabody/Pabody, Bartlett, Warren, Wood, Hanson, Carpenter, Winslow, Chilton, Alger, Packard, Haskell, Soule, Harden (through Latham).
How are you related to the Harden?
Donna
Ah, I see. Then it's your husband is my Mayflower cousin. I too descend from Richard Warren through his daughter Mary. Yes, I would be honored to manage Martha's profile. It's wonderful to meet you, and look forward to chatting with you more. Thank you
Donna
Thanks for all the work you have put into the profiles you have added and updated. I have a habit of looking to see how I might be connected with I see surnames I am following... in this case BISHOP caught my eye in the daily WIKITree EMAIL.... my paternal grandmother.
Interestingly enough though, I found that I am related to both your paternal grandparents, and all four of your paternal great grandparents as well.
Even more interesting is that your St Jean ancestors are related to my mother's French Canadian family (Perreault).
Russell Raye Clark is the only person related to my BISHOPs. His wife Grace Burns Reynolds is related to my grandfather James Samuel Bateman (1887-1941).
It's a small world after all, eh?
Thanks for the note! Nice to meet a cousin! WT says we have 235 common ancestors! I love the features that show how you are related to someone. I have been entering probates in Plymouth, and entering quite a bit. Just let me know if something doesn't seem right in any of the profiles you come across. WT is making the world smaller!!
I just wanted to follow up with you regarding the email I sent you on Apr 5. I hope you received it, but if not, please let me know and I will re-send it.
Thank you, S, PGM Project Co-leader
I did receive your email. and thought I had added the following tag. I just added the PGM sticker. It is tax season so I have been multi-tasking, so maybe I didn't do it correctly. I'm still learning. I haven't joined Discord yet. I just got an email about a challenge I wish to join so I will register for Discord today. Please let me know if I am missing anything else. -Karen
Only one thing remains for you to do: let me know which team do you want to be part of - the Profile Improvement or Research Team? Once I know that I will add your badge. (See my original email for links to learn more about the two teams.)
We're very happy to have you join us.

Thanks for the edit on John Kingman-98.
Looking at the drop-down list of our common ancestors on your profile, I noticed that we are 9th cousins and our most recent common ancestors are John Hathaway (1629-1705) and Martha (Shepherd) Hathaway (1631-1692).
It also shows that our most distant common ancestor on WikiTree is apparently Pepin (Senlis) de Vermandois (abt. 0876 - abt. 0922), if you can believe it.
Cheers,
John Kingman

I appreciate the editing you did on Nathaniel Man. We all can use a little help when it comes to perfecting Profiles. Btw we are 10 Cousins.

You’re welcome! I didn’t do much compared to you and others. 184 common ancestors to you! -Karen
I'm loving all the data analysis you're doing with probate records. Thanks for doing all that. Nice to see another relative-- however distant-- who loves to mine data for genealogical gems.
Thank you for finding and posting the will and probate record of Samuel Richards. He and his first wife Esther Hayden are my ancestors, and I was interested to see that he apparently had a second wife named Elizabeth. I noticed that the bequest to his son Frederick is handled differently from the bequest to his other sons and am wondering if that might be because Frederick was the son of his second wife. What do you think?
Louisa Nickerson (Nickerson-3382)
Karen
He does have a daughter Kezia but she married a Bissell. He also have a son named Gilbert and Roger. So the children of the men are different.
Maybe a good chance they are related some way. -Karen

This past Feb. you posted an Ancestry link to the probate records of John Russell. Since I do not subscribe to Ancestry, & Family Search does not have access to these probate records, I'd like to ask you to post the images of his probate to his profile.
I'm trying to find out who his parents were & there may be clues in these records.
Thank you.
Nace.
I added a "Free Ancestry image" to the source. Due to copyright, I don't think I can download the image and upload it to WT. The letters of administration on these pages are from soldiers that went to Fort Edward during the French and Indian War but did not return.
I will keep you in mind if I run across any information during this time period about the Russells. -Karen
You added Gregory-5272 as a spouse for Pennoyer-25 but I see no sources. I've also consulted Ancestors & Descendants of Henry Gregory, Complied by Grant Gregory and found no mention of Pennoyer-25 in association with Gregory-5272. I've seen profiles on Ancestry where the two were linked, but again without sources. There is no evidence that Pennoyer-25 was still living in 1748 to marry Gregory-5272, so any supporting documentation would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I put the probate record of her husband Holly on her profile. In 1749 she is still living and is the only surviving executor of the estate. She is called Marcy Holly alias Gregory. The link will take you to his will. The 1749 entry is after his inventory. Let me know if what you think. I am not feeling well today, so if you want to disconnect the relationship go ahead. I couldn't find Ebenezer Gregory's probate records, but will try again when I am feeling better.

Thanks for the notes! The Nichols are on my husband's side. I'm pretty new to WT and just trying to add info to profiles that I have info with sources. I will ask to be put on the trusted list for the Nichols.
