• Notes

  One of Teresa's four solidly-documented "gateway ancestors". "Alice and at least two of her daughters emigrated to New England. She was living in Roxbury, Massachusetts, by 2 April 1640, when a complaint was drawn up against 'Alice Tompson widdow.'" [Randy A. West, citation details below.] Descendants of Alice Freeman of particular interest to anyone liable to be looking at the ancestry of people named Nielsen Hayden include Edgar Rice Burroughs, L. Frank Baum, Thomas Pynchon, and Tappan King. Other notable descendants include Katherine Hepburn, Julia Child, Fannie Farmer, Grace Slick, Louis Auchincloss, Dorothea Dix, George B. McClellan, Cyrus McCormick, Charles Dana Gibson, Clarence Almon Torrey, Kingman Brewster Jr., Nelson and David Rockefeller, Archibald MacLeish, Warren G. Harding, Humphrey Bogart, Harriet Monroe, Admiral George Dewey, Spencer W. Kimball, Martha Graham, George F. Kennan, Robert Lansing, and Seth Low.
