Many Americans have been aware that the Princess of Wales had genealogical links to this country. Not only was she one-eighth American, but she also had ancestors who lived in six of the original thirteen colonies, near relatives throughout this country, several hundred distant kinsmen well known in American history, and probably between twenty and thirty million living distant American cousins, including most people named Strong, Hibbard, Newbold, Coggswell, Holton, Clapp, and Waldo, and many named Hart, Parke, Morgan, Stanton, Avery, Lyman, Hunt, Tuttle, Dennison, and Huntington. This work will make it possible for the reader to determine if he or she has any relationship with the Princess.

Outlined on 466 pages of charts in this work are the best royal descents of 576 immigrants to the American colonies or the United States who were notable themselves or who left descendants who were notable in American history. Based on a comprehensive survey, undertaken over a period of more than 25 years, of virtually all printed sources that lead to these lines, this book quantitatively and qualitatively redefines the entire discipline of royal genealogy and outlines--definitively to date--American genealogical links to medieval kings and their forebears. Fully half of the 570 immigrants treated here have never appeared in earlier books on royal genealogy. Mr. Roberts, Director of Publications at the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, has also prepared an excellent summary of all pertinent royal genealogy research published through mid-1993. Although his book does not supersede such works as Weis's Ancestral Roots and Magna Charta Sureties, or Stuart's Royalty for Commoners, it builds on and outlines the best royal descents in these and similar works, providing a ready means of access to royal descent literature. This is one blockbuster of a book!

The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States: Who Were Themselves Notable or Left Descendants Notable in American History

Thomas Dudley (12 October 1576 - 31 July 1653) was a colonial magistrate who served several terms as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Dudley was the chief founder of Newtowne, later Cambridge, Massachusetts, and built the town's first home. He provided land and funds to establish the Roxbury Latin School, and signed Harvard College's new charter during his 1650 term as governor. Dudley was a devout Puritan who was opposed to religious views not conforming with his. In this he was more rigid than other early Massachusetts leaders like John Winthrop, but less confrontational than John Endecott"

Once again Gary Boyd Roberts has assembled all recent royal descent research, some yet unpublished, and produced an authoritative, up-to-date compendium. In the 2006 edition of The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants he added eighteen new immigrants to his previous 650. In this edition, he has added twenty-eight more, so that with a few disproofs (Curwens/Corwins of Massachusetts and New York, Byes of Pennsylvania, and Edwardses, one Evans and Hugh Jones of Pennsylvania), this total is now 688.
New immigrants treated in the 2008 edition include Mrs. Jane Greene Poole (wife of the earlier treated William) and Mrs. Margaret Estouteville Shepard (ancestor of the two presidents Adams and FDR), both of Massachusetts; Mrs. Audrey Barlow Almy of Rhode Island (ancestor of presidents Harding, Nixon, and Carter); Mrs. Henrietta Constantia Worsam Meade and Charles Willing of Pennsylvania; and various Virginia immigrants, many developed by GPC author John Anderson Brayton. New Virginians include Mrs. Elizabeth Wood Barcroft, an ancestor of Jimmy Carter; John Baskerville; Benjamin Harrison, immigrant ancestor of the two presidents Harrison; Mrs. Dorothy Walker Jones; Philip Ludwell, ancestor of the Stratford Lees and the first husband of Martha Washington; and Stephens Thompson, ancestor of the Masons of Gunston Hall.
Mr. Roberts is especially pleased to include two new North Carolinians John Alston (a third cousin of John Alston of South Carolina) and Mrs. Ann Coddington Fenner, an ancestor of Senator John McCain.
Also included, in Appendix VIII to the Introduction, are new descriptions of recently revised, likely but unproved, royal descents for the five Winslow brothers, John Whitney, and John Whitcomb, all of Massachusetts.
With this enlarged compendium, plus the works of Douglas Richardson on Magna Carta and Plantagenet ancestry, which add much biographical detail on many medieval figures and cover over 200 of the 688 immigrants, royal descent literature has reached a new level of comprehension and reliability. Genealogical Publishing Company is proud to offer the public these benchmark works that lead to an almost 800- year expansion (ca. 900 1700) of the ancestry of many thousands of Americans.
