In researching my husband's great-grandparents, I find a possible link between his great-grandmother and Mayflower passenger John Howland. There are two "gray areas" I am trying to verify through his Nye lines.

I am looking specifically at Benjamin Nye and Susan (Susannah) Phinney - trying to verify they had a son Sylvanus first of all... then that Sylvanus had a son named Zeba. These names popped up in One World Tree but I don't know the sourcing.

I have reason to then believe that Zeba had a daughter Caroline who married into the Ling family, as did her sister Betsy. Caroline's son John V. Ling was my husband's gg-grandfather.

Anyone out there familiar with these lines?
