This lineage through the centuries, which traces through our roots in Merry Old England of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, to the religious persecutions of King Charles I which caused the Great Migration of which Edmund Rice bore witness, to the early settlement of this country among the colonies, most specifically of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, to the growing country of colonies, which later gained its independence from the Crown in the Revolutionary War of which Jasper Saxton saw service for his country, to the new USA of the early 1800s, to the American Civil War in which John Harter Wise labored out of love to put down rebellion, to the America of the 1900s and the Great Depression, after which Marvin John Ver Hoef, grandson of 1800s Dutch immigrants, triumphantly purchased back the family home, to the faithful religious roots of the family going back to the Puritans of old England and colonial Massachusetts to the Methodists of the 1900s, does bear its triumphant witness through my blood, which lives on in me. 

This lineage intermingles with other heroic lineages, to the German settlers of colonial Pennsylvania which later became known as "Pennsylvania Dutch", bearing witness through John Harter Wise, to the Antebellum Southern roots of Brian Keith Winn, to the Dutch immigrant roots of Marvin John Ver Hoef and Jeanette Harkema. May we always bear good memory and holy tribute to our victorious and triumphant ancestors.
