ReplyDeleteUnder Samuel Allen and Sarah Tuck I descend from 3 of their 10 children- Samuel, Joseph, and Alice. Since you descend from Samuel my line there goes:
Samuel Allen and Abigail Williams
Abigail Allen and Nathaniel Preston
Hannah Preston and Robert Woodbury
Molly Woodbury and Westley Burnham
(here I descend from two of their 10 children, Asa Burnham who married Polly Bray > Lydia Burnham who married Samuel Mears > Samuel Mears who married Sarah Ann Burnham > Sarah Burnham Mears (see above) OR Henry Burnham and Sally Poland > Sarah Ann Burnham and Samuel Mears > Sarah Burnham Mears, etc.)
