Another early birthday ancestor, on my grandmother's tree. First, a review of the generations from my parents back through time:

She was mother of Mary Hull Granger Phillips. Birth

=========================
Now to look further back
Capt. Ebenezer Pulsifer's father was:
Ebenezer Pulsifer Birth
4 Nov 1744
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, Death
1795
in
New York
His father was David Pulsifer, Birth
4 Mar 1716
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, Death
2 Dec 1783
in
Bunker Hill, Boston, MA. And his mother was: Hannah Brown Pulsifer, Birth
16 Jan 1718
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, Death
BEF 1756
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. Ancestry is a bit confused about Mrs. Pulsifer, giving 3 different women marriages with David Pulsifer Sr. (There was a son David Jr. born in 1840 as well.) But since Hannah Brown Pulsifer has three children from her marriage, I'll work with that family for now. And her family goes back further as well.
Hannah Brown Pulsifer's father was: Benjamin Brown, Birth
1669
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, Death
1733
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts
Benjamin Brown's mother was: Hannah Aslett Brown, Birth
21 Dec 1644
in
Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, Death
1721
in
Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts
Hannah Aslett Brown's mother was: Rebecca Ayer Aslett, Birth
1623
in
Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. Death
1671
in
Andover, Essex, Massachusetts. Her husband John could have been Aslebee, or Alley, but Hannah is daughter of Aslett, so I'll go with that family name.
Rebecca Ayer Aslett's father was: John Ayer, Birth
1592
in
Suffolk, England. Death
1657
in
Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts
John Ayer's father was: Thomas Eyre, Birth
1562
in
Bromhan, Wiltshire, England, Death
1628
in
England
And John's mother was: Elizabeth Rogers Eyre, Birth
1549
in
Poole, England, Death
1612
in
England
Elizabeth Rogers Eyre's father was: John Rogers, Birth
1523
in
Poole, England, Death
unknown
in
Bock, Dorset, England. But he's not the oldest birth record in this line, I only go in this direction because it's another Rogers link perhaps, but I don't know of a connecting link yet.
Back to Thomas Eyre...his father was: Robert Eyre, Birth
1530
in
Wiltshire, England, Death
1564
in
England
Robert Eyre's father was: John Eyre, Birth
1490
in
Wiltshire, England, Death
11 May 1532
in
Wiltshire, England
John Eyre's father was: William Eyre, Birth
1444
in
England, Death
1507
in
England
And ancestry just gave me a new "hint" from other family trees. So I'll add those names here as well as to my own tree line.
No I won't...I found twenty trees that are so entwined and garbled, I really don't care to weed through the branches and twigs, because they don't all agree. If I were to find a clearing, I'd probably feel satisfied. But today it's just giving me a headache.
It's possible William Eyre's father is Thomas Eyre Birth
1399
in
Wiltshire, England, Death
1432
in
Wolstanton, Wiltshire, England, and his mother is Elizabeth Rogers Eyre, Birth
1403
in
Wiltshire, England, Death
1462
in
Salisbury, Wiltshire, England
(NOTE: Upon reading this in edit mode, I note that I just said William's father died in 1432 when William was born in 1444...BIT OF A MISTAKE THERE!)
I think this is far enough back, though there were mothers listed who gave birth to several children in their 50s. I don't think that happened. These must have been men listing these families, who didn't think about how old a woman would be when she stopped having children. Honestly! OK, I just realized that records of women's birth dates also might be the problem here.
So I am happy if this tree should go back to 1399, or just 1444. That's a long long time ago. May all these ancestors rest in peace.
