I share the same blood line starting with Ann Hawkins and Francis Mead. I'm related to their son John Mead instead of Benjamin. I have some different dates though and a set of parents that are missing from your line, so I thought I'd share in case you were interested - I'm still researching though: (John Hawkins and Mary Warner had a son Matthew Hawkins who married Ann Parish: They had the daughter Ann Hawkins who married Francis Mead.) Also, Augustine probably didn't have Mary when he was 10. The dates I have for that: Augustine Warner born 28 Nov 1610; Mary Warner born 1640; Ann Hawkins born 1658). It's fun finding all the royalty in the ancestry. I need to photoshop Marjorie though...
Cheers!
