As Boris Johnson will be the new PM, just wanted to point out an interesting webpage presenting his ancestry in fairly full detail:

http://vademecumgenealogy.blogspot.com/

Except it appears to be in error regarding the name of her maternal grandmother, who is called Eliza Montague Warner in this account, but Eliza Clark Warner in one Bradford County historys account of Nathaniel N Betts (the one you cited), and Eliza C. in another history's account of Adonijah Warner. Likewise, her tombstone calls her Eliza Clark Warner, wife of Nathaniel Betts.


Anyhow, this area is one of my genealogical stomping grounds. Anyone interested in these Towanda people should check out what started as a USGenWeb county site, then was expanded to adjacent counties and converted into a personal site by its creator:

https://www.joycetice.com/jmtindex.htm

Among other things you will find the line from 31:Clara Holcomb back to colonial immigrant Thomas Holcomb. (My recommendation though is that you don't use the site's own search feature, but instead include 'site:joycetice.com' in a standard Google search.)

Right, there's an apparent error in that middle name. I haven't been able to verify the middle name of Hannah Frisbee, either, though it looks like she may have Twitchell ancestry. I wonder if some of these middle names weren't invented for the write-up, as you wouldn't expect all four grandparents to have middle names at this period.

So are you any relation of the new PM, taf?

People frequently seem to add the surname of a parent as the middle name on their trees - I find it annoying, because I never know if it's real or invented.

A second great grand father of mine had a middle name that came from friends of his parents.

People frequently seem to add the surname of a parent as the middle name on
their trees - I find it annoying, because I never know if it's real or
invented.
I see this happening a number of different ways.

In some cases, they extrapolate back a son's middle name to the like-named father. Example, I have a cousin born in the mid-1800s named Aaron Mortimer Randall. His father was just Aaron Randall, but on the death certificate the father is given the same middle name as the son. This also happens in my patrilineage where immigrant John (or Johannes, never anything more) had sons John, John Nicholas and Nicholas (with others). He somehow became John N in family records, copying the middle initial of one of his sons. His son John (again Johannes but never anything more) then became John C, extrapolating back from his son John Charles, and there is at least one other instance in the early generations where the middle name of a son has been extrapolated back a generation.

Second, they guess, or simply make it up. Given a middle initial, they speculate on what the name should have been. In some cases, this is done to beg the question. A son of Ethan Allen is routinely assigned the wrong middle name, because they think they know what it should have been based on his speculative maternal ancestry, but multiple contemporary records show it to have been different (and the actual name makes perfect sense given the mindset of the father). Likewise, sometimes people simply don't like their given name and pick another one, and the same sometimes goes for their ancestors. I imagine that Eliza Warner's granddaughter would have thought the middle name 'Clark' quite mundane. For that matter, given what I know about the naming practiced in the area, I am skeptical that the poetess was given the middle name of Endymion at birth.

A third pattern I have seen is in a genealogy of the Gamaliel Beaman family, where the author decided that there were too many people with the same names to keep straight, so they arbitrarily assigned them their mother's maiden name as a middle name. Thus Joseph Beamon, son of Hannah Knight appears as Joseph Knight Beaman. His father is Joseph Holland Beaman, etc. None of them actually bore these middle names, but most genealogists of the family did not take the time to read the front-matter to discover this whim of the author and simply took the text as an authentic representation of their names - all the online databases now have these 'middle names'.

Charlotte's birth name was apparently Helen Charlotte. She changed it later.

I've seen sons given the same personal name (either first or middle) in German Catholic families (the particular family I ran across was using Hubert).

So are you any relation of the new PM, taf?
Only all the way back in Colonial New England, where a quick survey turns up one most-recent common ancestor who is son of a 1630s immigrant, and two more where the immigrant is the MRCA. I have a hard time getting excited about such things. Back in the day, when I had access to a large genealogical collection, with a lot of books that would trace someone's complete ancestry, I would look at the ones with New England origin for any overlap, and about a third of them included shared ancestry, usually at this depth (immigrant generation or sons of immigrants - and less than a quarter of my pedigree is old New England, so someone with more NE bloodstock would be related to just about everyone else with old NE ancestry). If you are related to such a proportion of all people with NE colonial ancestry, somehow, it is hard to get too excited about the precise details.

Did a quick-and-dirty search today, and came up with the following New England colonial families that Boris descends from, among others. Going straight down the ahnentafel (except where duplicates appear, and skipping some families I didn’t/couldn’t trace):

Porter, Holcomb (twice), Sherwood, Hopkins, Bronson, Strong, Deane, Skinner, Pratt, Lord, Brooks, Spencer (Gerard) (four times), Gillette, Clark (twice), Beach, Wilcoxson, Curtis, Beecher, Barnes, Frost (twice), Frisbie, Wakelee, Twitchell, Tomlinson, Alcott/Alcock, Heaton, Blakeslee, Betts & Bouton & Marvin (twice each), Hubbard (twice), Beers, Noble, Dewey, Callender & Eaton & Mason (twice each), Camp, Warner, Taylor, Selden, Ferry, Montague, Rice, King, Bliss, Chapin, Buell, Buttolph, Crofut, Benedict, Gregory, Starr, Bailey, Backus, Gerrard, Beckwith, Brainerd, Dudley, Roe, Scoville, Shayler/Shailer, Tracy, Winslow, Leffingwell, White, Bushnell, Marvin, Rude/Rood, Eddy, Lester, Wells, Case, Corwin, Vail, and Folger. Boris’ maternal-line ancestry ends at Mrs. Esther Case (wife of Benjamin who d.1774) of Southold, Long Island, NY, maiden name unknown.

No absolute guarantees about accuracy of course, but no obvious (to me) errors in the info either.

Also, for those interested, no gateway ancestry that I can see, except for the unproven link through the Winslow family.

OK, there are three or four more shared names in this list, but based on the associated surnames, they are at the same depth (immigrant or son of immigrant).

I agree it isn't terribly fascinating. More of an odd curiosity.

I have the "Skinner, Pratt, Lord, Brooks, Spencer (Gerard)" family cluster as well as "Bliss, Chapin" and "White, Bushnell." Also ... Shayler, Eddy, and Folger.

This is with a tad more than 1/4th New England ancestry. My grandmother with the New England ancestry was a Porter, and also had a different Porter line, but Boris Johnson's Porters seems to be unrelated to either. I'm also assuming his Mason and Wells families are different than the ones I have.

Interesting, Nathan.

That puts us in the company of Prime Minister Johnson, Mayflower Madam (Sidney Biddle Barrows), and the murderer Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, who was executed at Pentonville.

https://famouskin.com/famous-kin-menu.php?name=23963+ebenezer+skinner

My line goes through Ebenezer's dau. Abigail who married Isaac Bigelow, and then through Wells, Eaton, Cox, and Porter (some of these were in Nova Scotia).

I guess you know that Mr. Zoeth Eldridge showed the correct ancestry of Ebenezer Skinner's wife, Sarah (not Abigail) Lord, in NEHGR, 54:450:

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x000540809&view=1up&seq=502

... So "Shayler/Shaler" should be mentioned in that "Skinner, Pratt ..." cluster, I suppose. Unless Boris has two Shaler lines?

Sorry, Shaylor / Shaler is wrong in this spot.

Sarah (Brooks) Lord, whose widowed mother remarried to a Shaler/ Shayler/ Shaylor, was definitely a Brooks, although she had some half-siblings who were Shalers:

The Shayler/Shailer name comes in at #55 below. Hannah (Shayler) Scoville was the daughter of 110. Thomas Shayler (1670-1753) and 111. Catherine Clark (ca.1682-1753). Thomas was the son of 220. Thomas Shayler (ca.1639-ca.1692) and 221. Alice (Marah) Spencer (ca.1641-1714), a daughter of Gerrard/Jared and Mrs. Hannah Spencer. Catherine was the daughter of 222. Joseph Clark (ca.1652-1716) and 223. Ruth Spencer (ca.1654-1744), another daughter of Gerrard/Jared and Mrs. Hannah Spencer.

I’m sure any other connections can be easily worked out from the pedigree below.

14. Jonathan Nobles 1791-1873
Jonathan Nobles was age 73 and born in Connecticut, as recorded on the 1865 state census of New York. He was living in Great Valley, Cattaraugus County, with his son Spencer Nobles, aged 43, born "Allegany."

_Historical Gazetteer and Biographical Memorial of Cattaraugus_ (1893) says, "Jonathan Nobles was an early settler in Great Valley, and with him from Angelica, N.Y., came his son Spencer T., both of whom settled at Kill Buck. ..."

The given name Hila was repeated in this family, so it's probably right. I would try to investigate a connection with earlier generations...

There is apparently a surviving letter from Judson Holcomb to Spencer Nobles:

Letter written by Judson Holcomb to Spencer Nobles (Text)
Excerpt: Rome, Dec 22 1854 Brother Spencer, Enclosed I send to you fifty dollars. Eighteen dollars of which is your due on the land...

Dear Newsgroup ~

I spoke to Gary Boyd Roberts, of Boston, Massachusetts this week. We discussed the American ancestry of Boris Johnson, the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. He indicated that Mr. Johnson has a descent from the 17th Century New World immigrant, Elizabeth Alsop, wife of Richard Baldwin.

Elizabeth Alsop has several descents from King Edward I. Below is one of those descents.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

.... and just to be clear, #63. Mary (Case) Wells (ca.1741-1806) was the daughter of 126. Benjamin Case (ca.1692-1774) and Mrs. Esther (Homan?) Case, as discussed previously.

She was a granddaughter of my ancestor Ebenezer Skinner.
I'm an Ebenezer
Ebenezer>Joseph>Abner>Jacob>Benajah Abner>Francis T.>Clark Allen>Eva Adeline (Skinner) Peterson>grandmother>mother>Nathan
Interesting, Nathan.
That puts us in the company of Prime Minister Johnson, Mayflower Madam (Sidney Biddle Barrows), and the murderer Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, who was executed at Pentonville.
https://famouskin.com/famous-kin-menu.php?name=23963+ebenezer+skinner
My line goes through Ebenezer's dau. Abigail who married Isaac Bigelow, and then through Wells, Eaton, Cox, and Porter (some of these were in Nova Scotia).
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x000540809&view=1up&seq=502
... So "Shayler/Shaler" should be mentioned in that "Skinner, Pratt ..." cluster, I suppose. Unless Boris has two Shaler lines?
Dr. Hawley Crippen had numerous lines from original settler Thomas Crippen and his wife Frances ___.

https://famouskin.com/pedigree.php?name=78763+hawley+h+crippen&ahnum=64

As I've pointed out before, Frances (___) Crippen was surely the "sister Frances Crippins of Boston in New England" named in the 1696 will of widow Rebecca Draper of Lewes, East Sussex:
