Well, supposedly, my grandfather traced his lineage back to one of Mary
Queen of Scot's relatives (a cousin, not sure, Grandpa isnt alive to ask).
We also are related to a preacher named "Johnathan Edwards" (My
grandfather's last name was Edwards), and he also told my mother our
family owned the deed to some land in NYC (he saw it, but there was some
parts cut out of it). The story goes it was lost by an ancestor of ours in
a bet to Aaron Burr's lawyer (it's been a long time since i heard of this,
and since Grandpa is no longer alive I cant ask).
