> Surprise, surprise. This makes me related to both you and your wife. I should have looked at my ancestry chart before sending the email. I did have the information that I descend from Stephen Gough via his daughter Mary Gough that married John Miles II (although I did not have Mary Tattershall as the wife of Stephen Gough). I would be glad to exchange any information but I have not computerized all of mine yet. I have been working on a book project for my Paden line and that is all I have on the computer.
