Matrilineal Monday -- My Sister's Maternal Line

My sister is just over 14 months younger than I am and this Thursday, June 20th, she will complete another trip around the sun.  In celebration of her birth and the gift of life she received from a chain of mothers, I am posting here today photographs of Susan's matrilineal line going back three generations.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!!

Susan Elizabeth Tew

Shirley Carpenter Tew (Susan's mother)

Ruth Eaton Cooke Carpenter
(Susan's mother's mother)

Florence Leonette Flagg Cooke
 (Susan's mother's mother's mother)

Susan's matrilineal line goes back much further of course, but as yet without any additional photographs or other images of the women. Susan's earlier maternal line is believed to be as follows. . . 

Florence Leonette ("Nettie") Flagg's mother was Mary J. "Jennie" Eaton. 

Jennie Eaton's mother was Charity Jackson.

Charity Jackson's mother was Mary Stocker.

Mary Stocker's mother was Sarah Burrill.

Sarah Burrill's mother was Mary Mansfield.
