The enclosed records cover: The Stockwell Family: The Singletary Family: The Creeley + Brown Family; The are carried back as far as the imagrant ancestor as far as possible & as these date back about three hundred years in most cases you can class yourselves as coming from the old original puritan stock, However I have not as yet been able to find any Mayflower ancestors, but as all of these are from Mass. It is quite possible that we may find some pilgrim fathers yet.
