Claudia's 32 Third Great Grandparents

8/28/2018

0 Comments

 
A challenge has been made to identify all 32 of our third-great-grandparents (3GGPs).  Pass it on!

That’s a lot of names to find!  As we push our pedigree chart of direct ancestors back to earlier times, the number of our grandparents doubles with each generation: 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, then 16 great-greats (2GGPs), and 32 great-great-great-grandparents (3GGPs), etc.  16 are on our father’s side (ancestral numbers 32 to 47), and 16 on our mother’s side (ancestral numbers 48 to 63).    

After many years of family research I now know at least a bit about most of them, although there are still gaps and uncertainties.  And one of my maternal couples is duplicated due to intermarriage (making them my ancestors in 2 different positions in my pedigree).   My 32 ancestors in this generation were  born in the late 1700s or early 1800s, when record coverage is more limited.  It’s one of the reasons why most of us have gaps in our trees in these earlier generations, or at least some uncertainties due to a  limited amount of substantiating records.

Summarized below are my 3GGP ancestor names that I already know, divided into 4 groups associated with each of  my 4 grandparents.  This list will come in handy for my DNA research when trying to identify possible common ancestors for my DNA matches who are estimated to be my 4th cousins.

CLAUDIA'S   32  GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDPARENTS (3GGPs)
HENSON LINE 3GGPs
(Paternal Grandfather)
32 - William H "Billy" HENSON
        1803 Wilkes NC - 1887 Washington AR
33 - Lavina OSBURN
        1805 Knox KY - 1895 Washington AR
34 - Reuben FRALEY
        1783 Russell VA - >1870
35 - Mary Polly FLANNERY (FLANARY)
        1792 VA - <1840
36 - William ORRICK
        1783 NC - c1859 Pike AR
37 - Celia Ola STRICKLAND
        1787 NC - 1862 Pike AR
38 - Benjamin DYER
        1798 Wilkes NC - 1835 Crawford AR
39 - Martha Patsy POGUE
        1806 NC - 1882 Crawford AR
HUNT LINE 3GGPs
(Paternal Grandmother
)
40 - John Thomas? HUNT
        1798 NC - 1884 Crittenden KY
41 - Elizabeth ALLEN
        1795 VA - 1865 Lawrence MO

46 - ? PATTERSON  <unknown>
        ? NC - ? ?
​47 - Margaret ?   <unknown>
​        1788 SC - ? ?
ANDREW LINE 3GGPs
(Maternal Grandfather
)
 48 - William ANDREW
        c1782 Cornwall/Devon England - 1833 Cornwall
49 - Honour GRIGG
        1784 Cornwall - 1861 Cornwall
50 - William HOPGOOD
        <unknown, probably bef 1800 Cornwall>
51 - <unknown>

52 - Thomas Compton COMPTON
       c1789 Hampshire England - 1850 PEI Canada
53 - Hannah JEFFERY
       1790 IofW England - 1871 PEI Canada
54 - James COATES
        1790 Suffolk England - 1862 Suffolk England
​55 - Sarah ROBINSON
​        1795 Suffolk England - 1862 Essex England
RICHARDSON LINE 3GGPs
(Maternal Grandmother)
56 - Henry Proctor RICHARDSON
        c1789  Sussex England - 1850 Sussex England
57 - Ann PACKHAM
        1799 Kent England - 1838 Sussex England
58 - James HARRIS
        1799 Gloucester England - 1877 Gloucester
59 - Lucy RANDALL
        1797 Oxfordshire England - 1875 Gloucester
60 - William Spencer COMPTON
        c1799 ? - 1847 PEI Canada
61 - Harriet Clarissa HASZARD
        1798 PEI Canada - 1841 PEI Canada
62 - Thomas Compton COMPTON <same as 52>

​63 - Hannah JEFFERY <same as 53>
​

​As you can see, my father's ancestors lived in the USA and moved often, following the frontier where records weren't always kept.  My mother's ancestors came from south England and PEI Canada - a small island where I have multiple connections to the COMPTON family.  I have a brick wall in my maternal HOPGOOD line and in my paternal PATTERSON line.  And there is some uncertainty in some of the other lines as well.  More research is always needed!

I have already written stories about some of these ancestors (only 4 so far in this generation), and I have included links above where appropriate.  It seems I also have lots more stories still to write!  

The next generation back contains 64 direct ancestors (4GGPs).  Oh no, that IS intimidating!  I have many more gaps in that generation.
