Shouldn't Edward Lewes/Lewis, who came to Massachusetts as an infant about 1635, be PGM?

Question

My ancestor Edward Lewes-8 was born in Staplehurst, Kent in 1634, the year his father George Lewis-467 emigrated and settled in Scituate.  Edward's mother Mary (Doggett-341) Lewis came over to join her husband sometime between 1635 and 1637, bringing Edward and his elder siblings Mary Lewis-10583, George Lewes-7, Thomas Lewis-91, and James Lewes-164 along.  This is discussed by Anderson in his entry for father George Lewis in The Great Migration, Vol. IV, pp. 281-284.  His mother and his three eldest siblings are designated as PGM.   So don't Edward (and his brother James Lewes-164) also qualify for the PGM category?

Answer 1

Yes, in my opinion.

The fact that Edward's younger brother was born in New England by 1637 indicates the family had migrated by 1640.  So I think he is eligible for the PGM project.

I would suggest you put the PGM project box on the profile and a PGM Leader will come along and add the project as a co-manager.

Good find, Halsey.
