family

(NOTE: The first wife of Robert Jenison has been said to be the daughter of Thomas Kilbourne and Frances Moody Kilbourne, baptized at Wood Ditton, Cambridgeshire on May 12,1614. References to this are found in a Great Migration series article on Thomas Kilborn and in Bond's Watertown treatment of Robert Jenison. However, the most recent theory is that their daughter Elizabeth married Hugh Gunnison. (NEHGR 163:16-18) The arguments presented in this article are weak, but plausible. This would leave the identity of this wife of Robert unknown.) http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi/http%22//trees.ancestry.com/tr...
