Ralph Waldo Emerson-4th & 6th Cousin
More research on my moms New England line about a year ago gave me a new cousin.
Meet our 4th cousin as well as our 6th cousin through two different lines (that I have researched).
We are also connected to him in a few other ways but I haven’t had time to delve into those lines.
His pedigree on Famouskin.com (see link below) shows quite a few mutual ancestral and collateral relationships including our 11th great grandmother Elizabeth Tilley from the Mayflower, a few Royals and more.

Daniel Webster -U.S. Statesman & Fourth Cousin
Family History And Research
Today as I was researching my New England Family Tree branches that called the Plymouth Mass. area home, I came across the biography of one Daniel Webster in a book about some of the leading citizens of the Plymouth Colonial Era.
Further research revealed that Daniel and I are fourth cousins 8 times removed and we share a man named Henry Kingsbury as our common ancestral great grandfather.
Henry Kingsbury would be Daniel's 3rd great grandfather and Henry Kingsbury would be my 11th great grandfather.
Henry Kingsbury profile
Daniel Webster descends from Samuel Kingsbury:

I descend from Jospeh Kingsbury:
Joseph Kingsbury profile
These two men were brothers along with seven other siblings.
The Kingsbury line came from England to Mass via Henry and settled in Ipswich and Haverhill Mass.
.....kind of a cool history unfolding for me with this line.
I remember reading about Daniel in grade school and always felt some weird connection to his life and story..... and now I know why.
And then there is the short story "The Devil & Daniel Webster" which was made into a movie as well, and though I never read it or paid it any attention, I learned just now through some research that the fictional story features as the jury, some interesting "real" people from colonial New England, with some being ancestral relatives of mine....such as Thomas Morton who founded Merrymount Mass., a 3rd cousin and Walter Butler, a loyalist, a 4th cousin.
I never realized how interesting his life was and how connected he is to my family tree. He was, in addition to a lawyer and politician and statesman, an avid farmer.
His properties in the Marshfield Mass. area included some of the lands of my ancestral great grandparents and their families including the Winslow and Miller family lines that I descend from.
My family connection to Daniel Webster:
Daniel and John are fourth cousins 8 times removed
Daniel Webster and John Repinski are both descendants of Henry Kingsbury.

2. Marlene is the daughter of Raymond Harold Dietz
3. Raymond is the son of Grace Elizabeth (Pope) Dietz
4. Grace is the daughter of Henry Allen Pope

10. Ephraim is the son of Hannah (Kingsbury) Hyde
11. Hannah is the daughter of Joseph Kingsbury
12. Joseph is the son of Joseph Kingsbury

An Amazing Discovery! The Father of Texas is my Cousin!
Family Tree History and Research
Monday, Feb 5th, 2018
As I was researching my family tree just now I stumbled upon and discovered a 14th Great Grandfather through my mother's family line from her father (my grandfather) Ray Dietz, named Stephen Austin, who was born in 1484 in Kent England.
On a lark I decided to research the ancestry of the namesake of Austin Texas to see if my ancestral great grandfather was somehow connected to the "Founder of Texas"......
