Information from Christene Kimsey, e-mail dated January 22, 2004

Hi! My name is Christene Kimsey, and I wanderd into your family tree website today - I see that Betsey Fairchild (wife of James R. Lee) is the mother of Harriet Lee who married James B. Ormsbee. Did you know that she (Betsey) was descended from John Alden & Priscilla Mulins?

I believe the order is this :
Harriet Lee (m James Ormsbee)
Betsey Fairchild (m James Lee)
Elizabeth Carver (m Joy Fairchild)
Benjamin Carver (m Elizabeth Porter)
Elizabeth Snow (M Joseph Carver)
Elizabeth Alden (m Benjamin Snow)
Joseph Alden (m Mary Simmons)
John Alden (m Priscilla Mullins)

My husband's aunt has documentation, and is a member of the Mayflower Society.
