Ringold Lardner was the subject of We’re Related report # 371 showing us as 7th cousin, four times remove, through our MRCA John Thompson (1577-1627), the father of Anthony Thompson (1614-1648), my 9th great grandfather and the furthest documented ancestor I have in this lineage.   Report # 119 shows that we are 6th cousins, five times removed, through our MRCA William Lawrence (1622-1680), the father of Thomas Lawrence (1644-1703), my 9th great grandfather and the furthest documented ancestor in that lineage.  The lineages cross for Ring at his parents.  Report # 371 follows his mother’s line; report # 119 follows his father’s line.  These are very close to connecting to the MRCA for me — one generation!!  Both will be candidates for priority status on the TO DO list.
