As the "author" of this "book," I here exercise the privilege of including myself among the notables to whom Cary Elwes is related. The next few charts show our common descent from several 17th-century inhabitants of New England:
Jonathan Brewster (1593-1659) [son of the Pilgrim William Brewster]
and Lucretia Oldham (1600/01-1678/79)
[twice 11th cousins, once removed]
John Gager (1620-1703) and Elizabeth Gore (1627-1703/04)
[three times 10th cousins]
William Backus (1634-1721)
[half 10th cousins]
Thomas Tracy (1610-1685) and Mary ____
[11th cousins]
