my bf is a relative of his by way of his descent from john dane, the juror; nehemiah abbott, jr., and john dane were first cousins once removed to each other. the thing is that nehemiah's mother, mary (howe) abbott, and john dane (the juror), were first cousins through their parents: elizabeth (dane) howe and john dane, who were sister and brother to the rev. francis dane of andover, massachusetts. anything else you need to know, feel free to email him at brianboru662002@yahoo.com and he will be glad to answer any and all questions for you, thanks.
