Yes it links. Rob found me throug ancestry and has sent me pictures. Here is the rest of the story. Augusta Johnson (I have her back to Anthony Colby 1630 when he came on the Winthroff Fleet.) Augusta married 2 times. First to Goldthwaite, they had a son Robert, they divorced she married George Newton and they had a son West. The story goes Emma Williams ( daughter of John and Sarah) married Robert Goldthwaite and they divorced and she then Married West. West and Emma had Lee Newton, my mother Marjorie is Lees daughter. I am sending for Sarah Melville Williams death certificste. I hope it shows her parents. I beleive Sarah and Elizabeth may have been sisters. Do you know who Elizabeths parents are? I have tried to research Herman Melville and would like to link this side do you have any info? It's likely that the time frame for this family and the location where they lived they are indeed related. But the big question is how? John and Sarah Williams were one of the families with Coyte that started Coytesville, guess they started with some kind of ( God I hate getting old, can't remember anything) co-op businesses. John was a shoemaker. If I recall correctly, it lasted a few years and John ended up staying and making his shoes. My aunt Jeanne and my mom ( sisters and Jeanne's middle name was Melville) told stories about that John made shoes for Broadway shows and they had boxes of leftover sequins and ribbons that they played with when they were little girls). Now Sarah Jane (daughter of John and Sarah) most likely sister to both Elizabeth and Emma is buried in Woodland as well. Under Vandebeek-Ware - I don't know the story of her first marriage, however she married Howard Ware and lived in New Rochelle. They owned Wares department store. She was known to the family as Aunt Jenny. After Howard died she sold to Bloomingdales and they operated until I think around the mid sixties. The building has been turned into condo's last I checked. I have pictures of Aunt Jenny with her chauffur and the family. What did Samuel Kyle do in Coyesville? It is all very interesting stuff.
