Hollis, I was asked to update the profile for Benjamin Haviland (Haviland-235) and did so. See comment on Benjamin's profile page. Thanks.

Good afternoon Hollis l am researching John Emmons b 1757 and l see we share DNA and was wondering if it would be possible to compare kits and see where the connection is. If l am related to this John Emmons it would solve the mystery we have been searching for 35 years

thanks Chris Emmons

I have traced the Chase, Wing and Haviland families from Massachusetts over to New York then on to Michigan. I have the full History of the Chase Family from Providence, Saratoga County. I am a Chase several times over. Glad to meet you Cousin Hollis.

Lucky you to have a grandma that could pass this on. Smith/ HAVILAND URR involvement Sorry to say my grandmother Gifford didn't say much about her Quaker background except that her g dad got kicked out and she thinks he had been drinking. She did explain about turning the other cheek, so I was surprised to find so many in the Rev war and Civil war. I guess it was a matter of choosing between the lesser of two evils. Clearly they felt called to stand up and work toward freedom for citizens. This grate migration was in the 30's with many going to Raisin, Lenawee, MI. Check the census in the 60's and you'll see many ministers were with them and they weren't all Quakers. Other faiths had come too. Really something to see in the works. So don't miss the census work, it includes your history that stood and spoke up.

Hi Hollis!

I'm your cousin Lorraine (Lori) Trombly from Niantic, granddaughter of Richard & Flora Storrs. I live in Tucson now, with my Sweetie, Joe Plasentilla, and our best behaved daughter, Schrödinger, our Calico. I saw your name while looking up muy Uncle Hollis, my wonderfully remembered Uncle from when I was very, very young. Nice to see his name carried forward, you've got some big shoes to fill!

Hi Hollis! Great to see you on WikiTree. Hope you and the family had a merry Christmas. Cheers, Chris
