I make no claim regarding the accuracy of this chart; the original sources are not free from error and a degree of guesswork is involved in genealogy. Last revision: 14/4/2001 (c) David Powell, http://roots-boots.net/ft/names.html Reference numbers are denoted by [..]'s and are listed at the end of each section (seperated by a line of *'s). Numbering begins anew with each section. The help of Joyce Tomasi in providing information from the NSW BDM's, passenger records etc has been invaluable in preparing this chart. 8. John Pelham, born c.1715, probably in the Playden area, County Sussex, England.[1] Married Elizabeth, c.1738, probably at Playden, Sussex.[1] Children of John and Elizabeth Pelham: i.

[5] There were no other Pelham's in the area at this time so it is a safe assumption that Thomas was the son of John and Elizabeth. Date of birth estimated from Thomas' marriage date. Thomas also named two of his children John & Elizabeth, as well as Sarah, his sister. ************************************************* 7.
