Stetson family crest
Isetta Stetson's father Herbert Stetson was a ninth generation descendant of colonial American Cornet Robert Stetson
It took some doing, but I've succeeded in tracing the Eilertsen-Bennett family's Stetson lineage back to Cornet Robert Stetson, who settled Scituate, Massachusetts in the Plymouth Colony in the first decade after the Mayflower landing.
The chart shows the family identifier code used by the Stetson Kindred of America, which has published official genealogies for more than 100 years. Cornet Robert is Stetson number 1 and members of each subsequent generation are given by birth order.
The SKA registers only male-descended family members. The children of daughters who married into another family are not considered official Stetson family members. Thus, Isetta Stetson Bennett is the last member of the line to get an official SKA designation.
I show the subsequent Bennett-Eilertsen generations down to Twyla Eilertsen Ruby, but these latter generations are not official Stetsons.
