    Imprecation of Edward Broughton Esq. (see page 323) "I Edward Broughton, for love, in ye presence of ye great God of heaven and earth, who knows the secrets of all hearts, and the sincerity of mine at this time, I doe, upon premeditation, and not rashly, implore the God of spirits to power down his vengance upon me and my posterity for ever, not in any ordinary manner, but in the highest nature, in giving the divell power over our souls and bodyes, and that we consume upon earth, rott away alive, and be damned; and yet my name and person shall stink upon earth and molest ye nostrills of men; and that I may be a fearful spectacle to all perfidous men; and that I may never walk upon the earth, but with dreadful hideous shapes about me, and terrified conscience; and that i may linger and not die, but as cain, may have a mark sett upon me that men may shun me and that I may outlive all my posterity; and that they may be all extinct and damn'd; and that the divell may have a good tytle to my body and soule; and take possession of me heare on earth, and carry me away alive; and that I may never appear before God, but to receive ye dreadful sentence, Depart from me you cursed, into everlasting fire, to be tormented by the divell and his angels.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
