As should be clear from my earlier postings here, I've kept running into Japhets in my work on the Padgett family of Chenango Co., NY, and have found them very poorly documented -- to the point where I couldn't always tell which Japhets were possible Padgett descendents and which ones weren't.
I finally decided to take a week and pull together all the online sources I could find in order to assemble a more-or-less complete Japhet family tree. Having done that, it only made sense to put it up on my website for the benefit of anyone who might be interested.
One unexpected by-product of my research is that I believe I've solved the perennial question of where Stephen Japhet and Hannah Pittsley came from before they settled in Japhet Hollow, Broome County. (And the story is a good one!)
Come have a look:
