Our Family on the web

I have discovered a link between my mother's family (The Putnam family which is an offshoot of the Abbey's) and the royal line of Europe. I have also discovered that I am relaited to my wife (38th cousins 1 time removed to be exact). We both share Charlamagne as a common ancestor. I have added new information to the House, Bemiller, Hoover, Pfaffenberger, and Bowman families and others.

William Lamberton, an ancestor of the Morrows, built the first ship ever built in the new world in 1646. He sailed for England and was never heard from again. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the poem "The Phantom Ship" about him. William Knowlton, another ancestor of the Morrows, took a ship and sailed for America in 1632 with his wife and family. He died on the way over and is buried in Nova Scotia. Antoni Sadowski, an ancestor of the Bowmans, was a soldier in Poland's war with Norway in the late 1600's. He was captured and taken to a ship where he jumped overboard and escaped. His brother was not so lucky. Antoni later came to america where his children changed their name to Sandusky. He traded with the indians in Ohio as early as 1720. There is speculation that the city of Sandusky may be partially named after him. The Ridenour family, who are ancestors of the Wards, can trace their ancestry back to the 8th century to a man named Pertinax Von Ritenower. He was a Germanic warlord, and supposedly a very ruthless man. 500 people died during the construction of his stronghold. Thomas Goble, an ancestor of the Hall family was excecuted in 1682 for killing some 3 indian women and 3 indian children during King Phillip's War. Samuel Abbe, an ancestor of the Morrows gave tesimony during the Salem Witch Trials. There are ancestors that have fought in every major American war from the Pequoit war of 1644 to World War 2 minus the Mexican War. Several of whom were highly decorated.
