About Me

What follows is a list of my "gateway" colonial ancestors who have links to the Plantagenets: Margaret (Wyatt) Allyn (King John); Nathaniel Brown (King John); Oliver Manwaring (Edward III); Edward Raynsford (Henry III); Thomas Rudyard (Edward III); Thomas Yale (King John). A list this long of descents from notable medievals demonstrates that it is not unusual to be directly related to early royals. No "bragging rights" can accrue to ordinary persons who are descended from the Plantagenets, other than the satisfaction of being able to prove it!
