Here's my Gifford line:

William Gifford/Elizabeth Grant
Robert Gifford/Sarah Wing
Jeremiah Gifford/Mary Wright
Benjamin Gifford/Eunice Beard
Hannah Gifford/William Beeson
Jonathan L. Beeson/Miriam Hinshaw
Lillie Mae Beeson/the Rev.Stephen Davis Horine (my ggrandparents)

Marilyn Monroe is also a Gifford descendant (and a Mayflower descendant) if
her father is who he is said to be.

Greg,

That is my line but I am not descended from William Gifford who married
Kezia Jones but from his sister Eunice, who married Jesse Hinshaw . The
William I mentioned was this William's great great grandfather. I am
interested in your source, which may very well be me. James Bellarts states
the marriage of Jonathan Gifford and Eunis Beard is recorded in "The
Sherburn Legal Book, Book I, page 112. He also notes that they left
Nantucket and he documents a Eunice Gifford as born 20 June 1778 in North
Carolina. Bellarts failed to connect this Eunice to Jonathan and Eunice from
Nantucket but I noted many years ago that Hiram Hilty says that a Jonathan
Gifford was rocf at New Garden Monthly Meeting between 1771 and 1775. For
this he quotes: Dorothy Lloyd Gilbert, "First Friends at New Garden in North
Carolina", Bulletin of the Friends Historical Association, Haverford, Pa.,
Autumn. 1945. The connection, once recognized, can be confirmed in William
Wade Hinshaw. Jonathan Giffo!
rd descends through his grandmother Mary Wright from two Mayflower
passengers, John Soule and Francis Cooke, thus any descendent of Jeremiah
Gifford and Mary Wright has Mayflower ancestry.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Banks Hinshaw
