    WHITE, Peregrine and BASSET, Sarah

    Unfortunately, due to the fact that I post these on Thursdays, I’m out of sink with the listings here. My 47th AND 48th are Thanksgiving themed. So you’re getting a notice after the big day. #47 is “American Royalty”: Peregrine White, married to my ancestor Sarah White. http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/11/52-ancestors-peregrine-white/

    #48, in case you want to stay closer to Thanksgiving, is my Pilgrim Ancestor William BASSETT who arrived in the new world too late for the first Thanksgiving.http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/11/52-ancestors-william-bassett-missed-thanksgiving/
