THATCHER LINAGE

This is an accounting of ancestors following Constance Thatcher McGregor’s Line.  My Grandfather was Constance’s brother Henry Kitchen (Kay) Thatcher,Jr..  Kathy McGregor Jones lovingly put this linage together.  She notes:

This is a brief overview of some of the ancestors found while tracing Grandma McGregor’s (Connie’s) line.  These are all direct, as in great-great-great etc…grandfathers and grandmothers.  If you branch out into their brothers and sisters, it gets even more interesting but confusing.

 Many of the birth dates are not exact, and could be off by as much as 10 to 15 years.

 Of the following, is one direct line traced back to the year 6.  Not everyone is listed, as they are from different branches, but this gives you a pretty good picture of what a special family we are.

 So far I have found over 300 titled individuals in this line, including Emperors, Empresses, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Dukes, Duchesses, Earls, Barons, Baronesses, Knights, Lords, Counts, Countesses, Viscounts, Marquises, Sheriffs, Abbots, Esquires, Mayors, a couple Saints, a Bishop, a Prefect, a Jarl, and an Earl
