March 8th

Gee - I have nothing for March 8th - but because it is International Women's Day let's salute all the women on our family tree!

From the one born the furthest back to the one most recently born.

And they would be:  your 5Xgreat grandmother Mary.  She is just Mary.  I don't know her surname unfortunately but she became a Glover by marriage.  She was born in Castle Donington, Leicestershire, England in 1725 - that's almost 300 years ago!  I found her in a grave in Castle Donington with her husband John Glover.  She died in 1815 "in her 90th year".  She and John had four children :  Mary, Sara, Judith and Robert.  Robert is the one who is our blood ancestor.

And no guesses for who the most recently born is!  Of course it is our dearest Isla Catherine Mueller!  Isla is the 6th great granddaughter to Mary.  Her line goes directly back through you, Peter Mueller her dad, then me her grandmother, then Alan Fisken Glover, William Fisken Glover, William Glover, John Glover and Robert Glover.  And Robert was the son of Mary.
