A word on these lines of inheritance, for thousands of years, it was the job of priests and kings and the
like to keep very accurate control of their ancestry and to keep good records of it. Much of what we call
history is based on it. It was the willingness of King George I, II, III, and the Hanoverians and Winsor
kings to fool with this stuff and not control it that was a big factor in the downfall of the monarchy in
Europe. The genetic diseases in Spain and Russia where caused by the failure of the current English
monarchy to respect the old system. These same Kings and Queens created trouble in the German
states they came from and in the old support systems in England and Scotland and Ireland that allowed
those who had long ago been kicked out of the peerage, because they were a younger son or a daughter
too many times removed, to go to the local lord and demand that they help them out because everyone
knew they were related and the distress of these distant cousins reflected on the reputation of their
more noble relations. When the Glorious Revolution, that threw out the Stuarts, the house of kings that
much of our family was related to, turned all this on its head, and when industrialization and the rise of
control by Parliament only made it worse, many of our ancestors came to the United States, where they
willingly participated in a revolution against these Kings that had destroyed their comfortable rural lives.
It is not hard to trace these lineages back, some of them to Hanoverian Germany, and connect with the
Earls, Dukes, Kings, that were their source. Once you have done that you are in the system of class and
special rights. Not too far back you come to ancestors that connect to everyone, Emperors of Persia and
Byzantium, of Rome, even Emperors of China and the relatives of Mohammed and Emperor Asoka of
India, even the royalty of Egypt. The attached line of ancestry is one of the less certain ones because the
notion of Irish Kings is not favored by British Historians, but no problem, because the same Egyptian
lines also connect, through Egyptian princesses, with Persia, which connects through Armenia, with the
Greek Orthodox East and through Byzantine princesses with the West. As with any of these things,
there are always weak links, but our family is linked so many ways, and through so many lines, Smith,
Kennedy, Pyle, Brockman, Saint Ledger, Livingston, Stewart, etc., that if one link is weak, there is an
alternative that is stronger. The Pyle line is one of the best documented because the Quakers kept such
good records, but the Kennedy line is simpler, ten generations of Kennedy links to ten generations of
Steward and then ten generations of High Kings, all pivoting around Henrietta Kennedy Lingenfelter,
