A few days ago, I played along with Randy’s Saturday Night Genealogy Fun, Two Truths, One Lie. Today, I reveal the answers…
TRUE – My 11th great-grandfather was a colonial governor. Gov. John WEBSTER is my eleventh great-grandfather as was the governor of Connecticut (colony) from 1656-1657.
TRUE – My 5th great-grandfather has a cemetery named after him. Aaron WEBSTER is my fifth great-grandfather and has a cemetery named for him in Oakland County, Michigan.
FALSE – My 7th great-grandfather was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. I am related to signer, Robert Treat PAINE, but not directly. He is my third cousin nine times removed.
See, there was a grain of truth in the lie 🙂
Thanks was fun! Thanks! Maybe I’ll even try it out though a bit late for Saturday.
