Guilford but have been unable to find the book titled 'Emanuel Downing by Frederick Johnson Simmons.' Can you possibly shed some light, name a source or share how you located information for Emanuel's ancestors? For now I am going to see what effect three "John Downings" in Salem has on my David. Also I would like to thank the poster who sharde the book information about Mehitable Braybrooke Downing as I found it and have purchased it. Thank you for your time.

I attempted to visit his grave this past spring and wrote to the Archives. They reported back there is no longer a record of his body being there. It seems the area has endured much construction over the years and his body was removed/placed elsewhere, but was not recorded. His body may in fact be sealed under the church somewhere. If anyone knows for certain, please let us know.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104683946411945075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-80481501614247894082018-01-02T07:23:47.069-08:002018-01-02T07:23:47.069-08:00Emanuel is my husbands 10 ggf.

There were three of them: John, the son of Emanuel, John, the son of Nathaniel (this John died in Boston in 1694) and another John Downing who claimed that he was kidnapped in Ireland. Nothing else about this John or his brother is preserved in any record. John, the husband of Mehitabel was titled "planter" which means he owned about 300 acres of land. Also, this John died after 1694 because he and Mehitabel signed over property to their two sons in the early 1700's.<br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104683946411945075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-61439535771682995462016-09-09T06:20:38.236-07:002016-09-09T06:20:38.236-07:00Proctor lived on Downings farm land in what is now...Proctor lived on Downings farm land in what is now Peabody, Massachusetts.

I ...Hey cousin-- Emanuel Downing was my 12th great. I descend for him through his daughter Susan, who married Robert Roberts. Susan was the youngest child by his first wife, Anne Ware. I also descend from a John Downing, who married Mehitable Braybrook, but he may not be the son of Emanuel. Apparently there were at least two or three John Downings in MA at the time...<br /><br />Emanuel was descended from the Wingfield family, who were descended from Plantaganet royalty to Edward I. On this line you'd be a 21st great-granddaughter of Longshanks! We're also related to Valerie Bertinelli.Karen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595488513595951006noreply@blogger.com
