As far as I know no one has ever gotten further back than Charles in terms of actual
records.
His records were destroyed when the house containing the records was destroyed by fire.
It was the house belonging to the clerk of the Quaker meeting he belonged to.
Then Charles was killed a short time after that and his wife remarried.
In my opinion the only way to get further back will be through DNA.
If we could just find people overseas and get them tested.
That seems to be the problem.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
