NILES FAMILY:
I am researching the NILES family, appearing in the Braintree, MA area in the 1630's. My main focus is to learn the following:

1. Is there verification that the ship, Speedwell, was the name of the ship that John Niles had taken to come to this country from (probably) Wales in the early 1630's?

2. Where is John Niles buried? It was near Braintree, MA--Is there a cemetery or farm location or marker still existing?

3. What is the family history in Europe dating before John Niles came to America from England?

4. Possibly another lineage from Barbados--On what ship and date did the Niles family come to Barbados? Curious if there may be some tie to them and John1 Niles......

CRANDAL, STOWELL, BROWN FAMILY CONNECTIONS:
This site also includes pictures and interest articles from the CRANDAL,STOWELL,& BROWN families.

Any information would be appreciated. I would be very glad to share what I have found with regard to these families.
