I have been having good results in my previous Blogs. In my previous Blog, I looked at ThruLines from John Hartley and Anne Bracewell through their daughter Nancy. She had 10 children, so potentially, a lot of descendants. In this Blog, I will look at more Nancy Hartley ThruLines through my father’s cousin, Joyce.<\/p>\n

Joyce is a good choice because she is a generation earlier than me and should have twice as much Hartley DNA compared to me:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the Hartley\/Bracewell DNA\/Genealogy Tree I have so far:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are Joyce’s ThruLines through Nancy Hartley:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laura’s tree ends in Jesse Howorth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out that I already have a tree for Laura:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, I had stopped the tree at Eliza Lee. This tree was made back in 2018 before I knew about Joyce’s ThruLines apparently.<\/p>\n

Joyce and Laura<\/h2>\n

This line should be easy as I already mentioned Eliza in my previous Blog<\/a>. She identifies her father-in-law in the 1851 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m feeling good about Nancy’s 11 children, so I added them to my Ancestry Tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So here, John has Eliza who has Jesse. It appears that Laura’s tree checks out.<\/p>\n

Adding Laura to My Hartley Tree<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laura adds another piece to the puzzle. Obviously, a lot is riding on the fact that Thomas Lee’s wife Nancy was Nancy Hartley the daughter of John Hartley and Anne Bracewell.<\/p>\n

Joyce and Robin<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here Ann Lee shows in white on Robin’s side. This is probably because I just added Ann to my tree. I get this hint in my tree for Ann:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robin has an extensive tree which I will assume to be accurate at this point. Here is her maternal side:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will add Robin to my Hartley\/Bracewell Tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I don’t show Joyce on this tree, but she would be in the same generation as my father. So Joyce is 5th cousin once removed to Laura and Robin.<\/p>\n

Joyce and Shaz<\/h2>\n

All the ThruLines seem to be working out so far:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly, shaz shows to be descended from Mary who Nancy Hartley Lee had when she was almost 47 years old. Shaz’ tree stops at James Wilkinson:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If I can show that James Wilkinson was the son of Mary Lee, that may be good enough. It turns out that Mary is in the tree of my genealogy friend, Elaine:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Elaine has saved me some time in connecting Mary Lee to James Wilkinson. This connection is good enough for me:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here the tree is getting wider, reflecting the large family that Nancy Hartley Lee had.<\/p>\n

Summary and Conclusions<\/h2>\n
