      Anyway, here is my line:

      Mustain, Thomas of Pittsylvania Co., Va., is my 3rd great grandfather; the genealogy scale follows.
      Family lineage:
      My mother, Anne Pierce Lester's line:
      Thomas Mustain (Mustein) married Mary Haley and one of their daughters, Sally Mustain, married Price Skinner June 30, 1794, Pittsylvania Co., Va.
      After marriage, they migrated to Georgia, and their daughter, Sarah Mustaine Skinner, married David Lester, my mother's grandparent.

      SIX GENERATIONS:
      6. Thomas Mustain m. Mary Haley.
      5. Sally Mustain m. Price Skinner.
      4. Sarah Mustaine Skinner m. David Lester.
      3. Lovick Pierce Lester m. Anne Boyd Carmichael.
      2. Anne Pierce Lester m. Raymond Whiting Ryan.
      1. Raymond W. Ryan, Jr. m. Ethel Christina Porter.
