Vitamin B1 Blocks

Bagwell: Eleanor Bagwell married Thomas Harding in 1684. They were Quakers, so digging into the NJ Friends records would be beneficial.

Ballinger: My apologies to my Ballinger ancestors for leaving them out of my 2009 family history. They were Quakers from Gloucestershire, England. Henry Sr. and Josiah Sr. need their birth and death dates firmed up.

Barlowe: Audrey Barlowe married William Almy in Leicestershire in 1626. Her father was Stafford Barlowe - more needed on him; BMD, background, etc.

Barnard: Mary Barnard was the wife of Rhode Island/Providence Plantation founder, Roger Williams. The identity of her mother is needed, as are a few vitals for her father [Sir Richard] and grandfather [John].

Baynton: Joan Baynton married Thomas Prowse about 1516 in Sanford Parish, Devonshire. That's all I got folks!

Belford: Jane [born c1509], daughter of Edward [born c1485], married John Grant about 1529 in Yorkshire. A bit more than I have on the Bayntons, but not much!

Belknap: The Belknap or Beltoft family was from Hertfordshire. Richard, Laurence and Richard [1470s-1600] need their wives identified, either maiden name or full name. As the family moved from Hertfordshire to Essex to Essex Co., MA, there were a few BMDs missing from the seven generations.

Benedict: Mary Benedict married John Olmstead in 1673 in Fairfield, CT. Her father, Thomas was from Norfolk, England. Five generations worth of vitals records need to be  tracked down.

Billiou: The big Billiou mystery is the same as that for the DuBois family. Pierre and Francoise [DuBois] Billiou arrived in New Amsterdam in 1661 with five children, the youngest born as sea [Isaac]. The catch is that they had one other child, Marie. It is believed that Marie came over a couple of years earlier with her Uncle Louis DuBois. The arrival and passenger list for Louis is the key to solving the mystery.

Blake: Agnes Blake was the wife of  Richard Remington, married about 1535 in Yorkshire. That's all I have!

Blessing: The Blessings were of Suffolk and Norfolk, England. John and Joan Preste begat John. He and Margaret _______ begat Joanna "Jone", who married William Towne in 1620. They came to Massachusetts thereafter.

Blom: This is my lone Swedish line, old though it may be. Barent Jansen Blom [1611-1665] left Sweden for New Netherland before 1640. His daughter, Tryntje, married Hans Christoffels. It also believed that after Hans passed, she married widower Arent Jansen Prall, bearing him a son Johannes. More on the Bloms in Sweden and proof of Tryntje's marriage to Arent are needed, as well as a few vitals.
