One was for Andrew Clutter, brother of my 4X Great Grandfather George Clutter, who eventually ties into Blanche Pocock.

Posts Beginning for Nicole’s 4X Great Grandparents

I’m starting this week on the biographies for my 4X Great Grandparents. If you’re counting, this is 6 generations back from me.
