Also through Alice Sayre's son Thomas Wheeler we are related to Franklin Pierce (same generation as Aquilla Gilbert and Emily Dickenson; also through this Thomas Wheeler line we have Julia Child whose grandfather Byron Weston is the same generation as Aquilla Gilbert; same line we have Stephen Crane whose grandmother Sarah Townley is the same generation as Aquilla Gilbert;
Jane Wheeler listed above as the great grandmother to Aquilla Gilbert. Jane Wheeler's mother was Elizabeth Clements 1680-1742. Following this family back we have her 24 Great Grandfather Johann Gutenberg 1398-1468 which would then be my 34 Great Grandfather.
Jane Wheeler's daughter listed above was married to Isaac Butterworth 1704-1747 who was the son of Isaac Butterworth 1673-1728. This Isaac 1673-1728 had a sister Hannah Butterworth who was married to a Webster. Following this family down we have Richard Nixon 1913-1994
Also, somewhere I have notes on how Walt Disney, the 2 George Bush's and others fit into all of this. More to be posted later.
