This is a great article and the maps are fantastic! Thank you! I’d love to see the key for the buildings in the overlay. How would I do that? It’s fascinating to me that my Benjamin ancestor and my Olmsted ancestor – different branches of my family – both came to Boston on the Lyon, 1632, and ended up a few blocks from each other. Thanks again for your great work.

While researching my ancestors I found your page. John and Abigail are my 6th great-grandparents. My 5th are Joseph Benjamin and Deborah Clark.

Wow, I love those overlay maps. We visited Harvard this past year; if I had known this information, I would have looked for the homesite of my ninth great-grandfather, John Benjamin.

My aunt has also done research, and has traced our family back to John
Benjamin. She had provided us with the direct links, thru the males,
down to our family.

Thank you very much for the information. Abigail and John Eddye are my husband’s 9th great grandparents through John Benjamin 1620, Sarah Benjamin, through the Hagars to the Rices, and thence to the Dames. It’s been a fun and fascinating educational journey back in time.

This is absolutely fascinating history. My cousin Sandy shared this – If I did my math correct, John and Abigail would be my 11th G Grandparents. So this means that I am related to all of you folks- how cool is that?

From everything I’ve read, no one really know who William’s parents are. I’m sending you a message on your email.
