1635 Immigrant Timelines

This is already a worthwhile project. "New" data on a few families is pooping up as I confirm dates & events. Give this a try, it might pay off BIG dividends! I will have to say that families with only 2-3 generations before a daughter marries into another line is easier to handle! :)-

(I have some problems with this line. The Memoirs of Isaiah Thomas claims this line is correct. Most trees place George's birth in Boston c1655, but there is no record of it. Memoirs states George was born in Wales before the family arrived in Boston. This would make George 19-20 years older than his spouse.)

Peabody:
(In my files, I have numerous articles naming John & Francis Peabody as father & son. In the article on 'Francis Peabody' in The Great Migration, Anderson states there are no records linking the two men. John did have a son named Francis, however. John arrived in 1636 & settled in the towns of Plymouth, Duxbury & Bridgewater in Plymouth Colony. Francis arrived in 1635 & settled in Massachusetts Bay, residing in Hampton [NH], Ipswich & Topsfield. All are far north of the Plymouth settlements. Family members tended to settle near one another. John & Francis weren't even close by colonial standards! Based on this information, I have adjusted my Peabody timeline to exclude John.)
