      The family of Willinm (2). son of William the
      immigrant, is not well documented. He married
      Hannah CRAM at the age of 41 when she was about
      20. and died al the age of 63 when most of his
      children were still minors.
      His will reads as follows:
      In the Name of God Amen - I William Fifield of
      Hampton in ye province of New Hampshire in Neu
      England being sick & weeke in body but at this

      estate which the Lord bath graciously given mc.

      my estate among my children as she shall thinke meet

      as she shall set cause. him. her. or than. to possess &
      enjoy the same immediately after her decease or

      do appoint my beloved wife Hannah sole executrix. by
      this revoking all wills by me formerly made & sign &
      seal this with my hand this eighteenth day of February

      last will & testament in presence of ye Witnesses
      Robert Moulton
      Humphrey Sullivan
      Anthony Crosbie
      Thomas Haines


      Fourteen June 1715
      Robert Moulton & Anthony Crosbie formally appearing before me. Richard Watoron Esq. Judge of Probate
      of Wills and Granting Letters of Administration made
      oath that they were present and see William Fifield
      signe seale and Declare ye above Instrument to be his
      last Will & Testament & at the same time he was of
      sound disposing mind & memory. Richard Watoron.


      The History of Hampton. NH lists the children of
      William. giving birth dates for Mary Stephen. Henry
      and Jeremiah and an Estimate of 1704 for Argentine.
      Mary. Henry-, Jeremiah, Argentine and Samuel were
      all baptized on 31 October 1708. Son Samuel is listed
      first in the History. and perhaps this is why Sheppard
      also lists him first with an estimated birth year of
      1694


DNA

DNA testing adds a whole different aspect to Genealogy

You can find relatives you did not know you had, open new branches to your tree, and create validations of people between the match and myself.

Whilst the improbable tree has lots of information yet to be validated, the tree I have created just for DNA matches and the links of ancestors between us, only has spouses that are not in some way validated.

I have started with DNA matches in Ancestry, but will eventually include MyHeritage and GEDmatch matches as well.

A lot to do.

More background about trees, people, and places

Family Trees can be just a list of people and how they are interrelated.

However they can contain so much more. Records, so many records.

Part of the process of assessment of a record for me, is about location. This takes me into social economic history. In the 19th century, where a lot of our records come from, life was considerably different form today. The very rich could move about the country, and indeed they would with a degree of ease that we have today, albeit on a different timescale. I recently found people on my tree that migrated to North America, and subsequently part of the family moved on to Australia, and set up home there. Shipping passenger records indicate that people from that family frequently visited their relatives both in North America and Britain, before returning to their home in Australia. That was not the lot of the masses though.
