I have seen this web site before, my direct line from William of Rehoboth
is completely erroneous as it is listed on this site.
The information was taken from a gedcom I submitted to Compuserve many
years ago.
I was just beginning my research and I had it wrong.
Point being, none of the info contained at this site has been checked for
accuracy...... use caution.

I shall but it was neat to see my ancestor's name there along with his
father's name - (I have a different name for his mother). At the very
least it gave me something to chew on, that I had had no reference point
to use before.
Which reminds me of the 'fact' of checking one's facts. I once had a person
who gave me a lineage that went way, way back. I asked them where they
got said info. 'here and there' was the answer. I only took as truth, what
they had legal documents as proof for - figuring as with the site mentioned
above, it gave me at least a foothold on the past, I'd not had before.
I agree with you Chuck - caution is the watchword.
