James was part of the same chunk of the family as my ancestor. There was the... immigration... after the Revolution that led to a bunch of us immigrating to Fredrickton, New Brunswick and/or Northern Maine and then a couple decades later returning and moving west to Michigan/Wisconsin.

I am adopted so I did a DNA test. Now, I am proud to say that I am also a direct descendant of Peregrine White and several other esteemed ancestors. Sir Lord William Smith and Suzanne Ann Anna White Winslow Fuller are my great grandparents (14 generations removed). That would make Peregrine my 13th (removed) grandfather. At least that’s what Ancestry test revealed. Hello cousins!
