I am interested in working on four family legends. Yes, I know that
supposed connections to famous people are the bane of genealogy, but I
would appreciate any advice on the following:

* the connection of my mother's stepfather, James Harrison Quinn, Sr.
(1906-1978, born in Ainsworth, Nebraska, USA), to the U.S. Presidents
Harrison (the published presidential genealogies have not provided
enough leads).

* the connection of the Danish Kaipers to a 17th-century mayor of
Copenhagen, recently confirmed for my grandmother on a visit to that
city by an anonymous museum type (i.e., no written confirmation!).

* the supposed descent of a close friend, through a family named
Tuthill, from a close relative of Lady Jane Grey. (To my knowledge,
Jane herself left no descendants, having been executed at age 16.)
This is a toughie, as there are few living Tuthills, and the detailed
genealogies I have seen of Jane Grey's family do not follow most
descendants more than a couple of generations.

* the supposed relationship of my mother's father Ralph Perceval Glover
to a sibling of Spencer Perceval, an English prime minister (assassi-
nated c. 1811), and thus a descent from several Earls of Egmont.

The problem is finding documentation on the *early* Earls of Egmont
(the moldy peerage books I've seen don't go back beyond 1850). In
case anyone can help, I have this information:

Sir Philip Perceval (1605-1647), of Somerset, settled in Ireland.

His great-grandson

Sir John Perceval (1683-1748), was the first earl. Born in
Ireland, he was a British MP and helped found Georgia Colony.

His son

Sir John Perceval (1711-1770), the second earl, 1st Baron Loveland
Holland, was an MP and first Lord of the Admiralty.

Now supposedly, one of John-the-son's children (besides Spencer)
was an ancestor of Ralph Perceval Glover (born Lockport, NY, USA,
around 1906). So how do I trace the intervening centuries?

Many thanks,
