MARGARET H. FIELDING

FAMILY SEARCH WIKI MISSIONARY since 20 September 2021.

Ancestry Info: I am a direct descendant of six Mayflower Pilgrims (George Soule, Joseph and Thomas Rogers, James and Mary Chilton, Francis Cooke) and related to seven others on that ship. Additionally, my Wilder ancestors first came from England to Massachusetts in 1638. Thus, one nationally recognized genealogy group estimates this makes me related to approximately 22 million citizens of the United States. Many on my family tree have defended America's freedoms beginning in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and both World Wars. I am related to Joseph and Hyrum Smith and their siblings through their mother, Lucy Mack Smith.
