Part 3.2 The Ancestors of Henry Irvin DeGraw Sharing Common Great Grandparents The Herrick Family
The Ancestors of Henry Irvin DeGraw Sharing Common Great Grandparents The Herrick Family When Mary Bond married John Herrick, one wonders what they would have thought, if some 600 years after they were born, two of their descendants who were connected by marriage, would have been able, with the assistance of very advanced technology, prove they both share Mary and John as their great grandparents. It gives rise to perhaps more and more families finding they share common grandparents! The front cover photo is of Mary Bond, painted when she was 90, and housed in a Gallery. Not long ago an art expert from Germany enlisted my help in authenticating Mary. How nice, and also rather special that they were able to find me in order to ask the questions. The power of a technological world. Mary Bond was the mother of my 11th Great Grandmother. She herself was a direct descendant of King William. My lineage is then through the marriage Herrick and Rogers. T
