Warren connection to Global Family Reunion Tree

Question

I have Erin Breen-120 to thank for this thread because it got me started:

http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/67945/rebecca-tittle-husband-washington-stephenses-monroe-county

So I took those names I found on that thread and started some hopeful research to see if I could find any interesting connections.  Sure enough I found one:  Nellie Crowley Kuntz (see link below).  As I dug, I found a book that discussed her father William Crowley's life and his Humphrey background: https://archive.org/stream/humphreysfamilyi02hump#page/960/mode/2up

If this book is accurate, it connects William Crowley with the Humphrey and Munro families of Rhode Island, and one Nathan Munro (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Munro-152).  So far, the book's timelines and stories match up nicely with the records I've been able to find, so I have gone ahead and built the profiles to connect William Crowley to Nathan Munro.  If you follow the tree back, you'll find that Nathan is a known descendant of Richard Warren and Elizabeth Walker of the Mayflower. 

And for me, that means both my wife and I are connected on WikiTree to the Global Family Reunion Tree through this Warren connection.  Does that help any of you connect? 

Here's my connection:  Me > my father Francis S Dane III > his mother Edith Thacher > her father William L Thacher > his father Thomas Thacher > his mother Abigail Swift > her father Silas Swift > his mother Abigail Gibbs > her mother Alice Warren > her father Nathaniel Warren > his father/mother Richard Warren/Elizabeth Walker > his daughter Elizabeth Warren > her son Benjamin Church > his daughter Elizabeth Church > her daughter Hannah Rosbotham >

her son Nathan Munro > his daughter Lydia Munro > her son Squire Humphrey > his daughter Sarah Humphrey > her son William Crowley > his daughter, Nellie Crowley Kuntz -> her husband, Edward Kuntz -> his sister, Emma Kuntz Ferrell -> her daughter, Georgia Ferrell Hirsch Takacs -> her husband, Irwin Hirsch -> his mother, Harriet Friedenheit Hirsch -> her sister, Sophie Friedenheit Kingsbacher (AJ's 2nd great grandmother).

This is awesome, Kyle!

Answer 1

That is AWESOME Kyle! Keep it up! I love seeing these connections grow. Connecting to the Mayflower families should help a lot of people connect as well!

I love the idea that AJ's project will show off what WikiTree can do and what we're all about here.  No need to reinvent the wheel - almost all the profiles I needed to connect to AJ were already here.  I just needed to do a little sleuthing based off of other people's work and add three profiles to the Tree.  That's what WikiTree is all about for me.

Answer 2

This is great, Kyle! Thanks for the shout out, it's exciting to see how you've traced back to the Mayflower.

I'm trying to verify another possible PGM connection - I just have to get some questions together to ask on G2G. I'll message you when it goes up...maybe you or your wife are connected there, too.

Let me know if you need any help.  I've already told Abby that my focus is early New England ancestors because that's where my tree takes me.  I am energized by this and I will be working towards fleshing out the trees that connect with them.

Answer 3

This is so exciting, my cousin Kyle! Can't wait to meet you in person. What excellent detective work. And I love that you've traced it back to the Mayflower. I've always been a fan of Thanksgiving -- now I know why. It was in my genes. Or at least in my in-law's genes!
