My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Wase and Cole family wives, other pinnacles of my ancestry!

Now I'm following the Brinley ancestors of Anne Wase Brinley (@1600-1687) wife of Thomas Reeves Brinley (1591-1661) her father was William Wase ((1580-1642) whose line we followed yesterday.

Her mother was Anne Cole Wase (1582-1607). She was a 9th great grandmother. The date of her baptism was 14 April 1579 in Tewksbury, Gloucestershire, England...or 1582 in another area  of England.  Some of these documents give a name of Ann Wade, as if all the transcriptions were wrong. The dates and places are on wonderful old illegible documents. I think Anne Cole's father was Thomas Cole (1530-1611), and her mother may have been Anne Hanbey Cole (1540-1586).

These 10th great grandparents, the Coles, have very few documents, and dates that prompt me to have raised eyebrows.  Did they marry when she was 13, and not have their daughter until she was 39?

The other 10th great grandmother would have been William Wase's mother, Christiana Budd Wase.  We know little about her except she was probably born in 1556 in Sussex, England.  Her father was mentioned as being Richarduss Budd, in old documents talking about the auditors of the English Kings.  (Note that makes him an 11th great grandfather.) He had been one of about 7 auditors before having an apprentice named William Wase, who had an apprentice named Thomas Reeves Brinley. (See my posts about him earlier this week.)

Next post will be about the ancestors of the American colonial immigrants, Griselle Wase Brinley Sylvester's husband, Captain Nathaniel Gascoigne Sylvester. I wonder how far back I'll find pinnacle ancestors along the Sylvesters.
