Hi Bill,

I am a Ruth BARNARD/Joseph PEASLEY#2 descendant, too. You will
find John GREENLEAF WHITTIER among their descendants. This isn't
the only time this happened in my Essex families, but in addition
to being Thomas BARNARD and his wife Helen/Eleanor's descendant.
I am also George LITTLE and Alice POORE's descendant. That
wouldn't also be the case with your wife, would it?

As I like to say about our Essex ancestors, Oh, what a tangled
web they weaved when first they practiced to conceive.

Kind Regards,
Sandi Goetze
