Hi Jared
Thankyou for the additional info on Lillia. I will add it right away. You're right about the moving from MA to NS and the younger ones moving back to MA again...
Guess you could say we've come "full circle". But it's funny, my paternal grandmother's family did the same thing, a lot of her ancestors came from either Worcester Co. or Essex Co. in MA. Went to Nova Scotia, and the younger ones too came back down to live in MA.
That same grandmother has got Haynes' in her tree as well. They originate in Sudbury, MA. It'd be ironic if the these two Haynes lines were also connected.
Have you come across that where 2 people (hus. & wife) could have a certain name in the family and have them connect?
My husband and I are also 9th cousins, connected by a Mary Parkhurst, on his mother's side and my father's.
Maybe this is a really small world....
