There are quite a web of pedigrees out there..
By engaging in this particular study of Plymouth Meeting, I've found more of my cousin connections as well and dutifully filled them in on geni.
example: The great Quaker historian of Norristown Ellwood Roberts whom I quote in the project had a sister Mary who married a Livezey.
Mary Livezey (Roberts) is my first cousin five times removed's wife.
To a non genealogist this doesn't sound like much, but for me it goes a long way to explain influences on members of my mother's side of the family.
Ellwood Roberts and his sister Mary Livezey collaborated with my 2nd great grandfather Col. Theodore Weber Bean, (USA) in the huge undertakings of the history of Montgomery County (Bean) and the Biographical Annals of Montgomery County (Roberts)
I'd never realized this until this morning!
Now I can better comprehend the continuing (BEAN) genealogical and historical work which continued in the next generation via my close relatives :
Mary Louise Jones
Theodore Lane Bean
Mary Rogers (Bean)
The Livezeys are way up there in the panoply of early Quakers of PA and were in the thick of it during the Revolution... many were most Loyal to the crown...
An additional line involved in all this is the Quaker faith of the Albertsons of Plymouth Meeting and Norristown. See for instance: Mary Hunter whose daughter married Theodore Lane Bean...
