Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.

Task List

  1. Work cooperatively together with other Heskett profile managers to create the best Heskett branch possible.
  2. Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Heskett profiles.
  3. Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for Heskett profiles.
  4. Check for duplicates and request merges.
  5. If you are a male with the Heskett surname or a variant and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA {need to check if there is already a Heskett DNA study}

Jane (Heskett) Dunn

I have been trying to put information for her together. She is the mother of Sarah Vashti Dunn who married in to the Beach Family (I am a descendant of Obil Beach). I am giving her to you because you might do a better job on her information.

I manage the tree for John W Heskett who changed his name to Patrick Lewis Ryan (Heskett-122). I looked at your profile for Benjamin Heskett and it does not match the line I research for John Walter. But then things change. They were in the same area. If I get a minute (caring for 88 year old parents during covid, cancer, etc) I will add the line I have including sources.

After researching this line I learned that John/Patrick was actually not my grandfather's biological father but I have cousins who are descended and I suspect would be interested.

Good luck with the study.

Catherine (Ryan-6077)
