Maternal Ancestors of Clinton Eastwood Jr.
The lineage of Clinton Eastwood Jr.'s mother "Ruth" (Margaret Ruth Runner) goes back to America's first historical hero, Gov. William Bradford, the leader of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony, as well as on their Mayflower voyage. She also shares links to English Royalty, and to US Presidents, Grover Cleveland, Rutherford B. Hayes, and both Presidents George, and George W., Bush. - TO VIEW
Author's Note: I spent many hours assembling this pedigree for the purpose of verifying Clint's link to the leader of the Pilgrims, Gov. William Bradford, and thus, an esteemed member of the relatives of the signers of the Mayflower Compact.
The majority of my references are listed on theA pedigree differentiates from a family tree in that it omits all the auxiliary family members, thus reducing the explosive growth of the list after just a few generations. A quick example of this mathematical phenomenon can be observed in this particular pedigree alone. Even without the listing of family members, I also, intentionally, did not pursue many maternal ancestral lines unless they were essential to the ultimate link to Gov. Bradford. However, if you notice, even with all these omissions, when you reach the eleventh generation (the end of the Eastwood paternal pedigree in America), the list of maternal ancestors still numbers 15 ancestors.
I recommend that a first-time viewer employ a simplified method to scan the thirteen generations back to the Mayflower Ancestors. This is to avoid branching off to countless branches of the maternal line. Later, you can return to explore all the details within the program. To begin, click on Ancestors below. The top entry for the first eleven generations is Clint's paternal (Eastwood) pedigree. By clicking on [Parents] on each of the 11 pages, you can arrive at the first American Eastwood, Richard, who settled in Jamestown, Virginia ( first English colony founded in America) in 1642. On the Eleventh Generation page, when the Eastwoods are "finished", scroll down half a page to #1741. Mercy Bradford. [Parents], click on [Parents] and proceed to Gov. William Bradford Sr. on Generation 13. Good Luck!
PS: Check that "Surname List" There's quite a few important American families listed.
The ancestry report uses 'Ahnetafel' numbering. This means that the numbers for each person's parents will be twice as large as that person's own number. For example, if a woman's number is 15, her father will be number 30, and her mother will be 31. Her child will be number 7.
