Mysteries

From biggest gap on down, here is the list of profiles whose pedigree is unknown or not confident:

• 2 generations
  • William Henry Burns Sr. - I have some idea of the parents, but beyond that I am very unsure.
  • Agnes Virginia (Robertson) Burns
• 4 generations
  • Mary Elizabeth (Donald) Derby - 4g, so pretty big gap. Its' Fitzwilliam, so you would think something could be done here, but I'm not even sure if its' Donald or MacDonald, and if its' Irish roots, I have no expertise.
• 5 generations
  • Sophia Martin (Chapin) Waters - adoption/remarriage clouds the picture
  • Sarah Yeaton Smith - Just unsure generally, and Smith, well, that's just hard.
  • Susan (Fisher) Preston - No parents identified.
• 6 generations
  • parents of Henry P. Derby - something odd happened there.
  • George Watrous
  • Martha (Woolson) Waters
• 7 generations
  • Lydia (Smith) Gleason
  • mother of Mary (Norris) Folsom
• 8 generations
  • Mary (Wilcox) French
