(Jody Gray) This SAR Application had me baffled… after comparing what Henry Jeffrey Matchett had on his application to what I had in my Ancestry.com Gray-Piper Tree; I saw that his lack of dates for some of his ancestors had caused him to get the lineage out of order, and, he left a few people out.

His lineage can be followed from beginning to end when I reorder a couple accordingly and add the missing links. His lineage and our family lineage breaks off with the children of Woodhull Helm b. 1777 and Eliza McDonald b. 1778: Henry’s lineage is their son, George M. Helm b. 1799; our lineage is their daughter, Eliza Helm b. 1802.  Otherwise, the lineage is the same from Woodhull Helm b. 1777 to Nathaniel Woodhull b. 1722 (only, as previously mentioned, Henry is missing a few people and dates).

    Henry’s application provides some new information for the Helm Branch: he was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
