Sir Thomas de Hauteville - Evidence for parents?

No, & I doubt that all this line so without info and links should be [MP]

All that google finds is just this:

Disconnected from parents based on he is not listed at http://genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00080255&tree=LEO

Sources for his existence from Wikitree (name varying)

I will chase this down to the Colonial American arriver.

nice cut .. quick :)
if in a few days nobody says anything else.. I copy the wiki tree solution (only 2 surnames and a suffix to change)
(Elizabeth de Townshend formerly Haywell aka de Haywell, de Hauteville)

This is where I’ll go - leaving Norman aristocrats to Anne. B:(

Thomas Townsend of Lynn, husbandman, d 1677, wife Mary, perhaps the sister of Ann, wife of Thomas Newgate or Newdigate, merchant of Boston.

Thomas Townsend, Sr., of Lynn

Son of Henry Townsend, Esquire of Brackon Ash & Margaret Townsend

(Sigh)

What does the Great Migration Project have to say?

I believe I can build the line up in the Anglo Norman side.

Thanks for the puzzle. I do love them.

The mistake makes sense to me. If you search for de Hauteville, almost everything you get is the Sicily branch. Of course somebody someplace connected it. And its been copied across the web.

alas.

There is disproved by DNA testing crossover between the Oyster Bay NY line & the Lynn MA line.

John Townsend, of Oyster Bay Will be disconnected.

For us 17th century people.

Here you go: https://books.google.com/books?id=FF8JAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA377&lpg...

thank you, 19th C Duchess of Cleveland!

Nope.

Not going to be able to connect the line, at least not without an enormous amount of work.

Everything I can find makes it clear that the de Haviles/de Hauvils/de Hautvilles had been in England since Ralph de Hauteville, son of Galfrid, went to England with William the Conqueror. The name shows up, and we've got sporadic appearances in the documents. But no actual line that I can find.

At any rate.

They were NOT in Sicily.

So far it looks like Thomas Townsend, Sr., of Lynn parents are fine & he’s the Thomas named in will.

I’ve spun off the Oyster Bay arrivers onto Parent Townsend; In fact we have uploaded Y DNA for this line, and they are not related to the main stem, as per “the "Townsend Surname DNA Project," conducted by the Townsend Society of America, a well-respected member organization composed of members with Townsend lineage.“

Also disconnected James Townsend, of Accomac County
