Yes he did. His wife had her own share of the Compact, plus the two shares from her late parents (they died in the first year or two), and John had one (despite his being indentured), so when they married, they had four. Must have split about 50 times by now. ;^)
One of his brothers (and hence, their parents) is the ancestor of Winston Churchill’s mom — among our more famous cousins. :^)
I have a photocopy somewhere of a newspaper that listed some links to Lady Di and Winston Churchill and a few others. I haven’t dug around much into genealogy lately, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I were eligible for the DAR.
Fun stuff, but in the long run, they don’t pay my bills so what good are they? (I don’t want to seem arrogant by naming names I’m related to.)
