Families I have research by own are The Shippen Family; Jubal Anderson Click here to see Jubal's biography site. Early and James Phelan family (mayor of San Francisco); Click here to see Phelan genealogical site. The Davidson family of Grand Rapid's, Michigan. I was told by James Phelan's granddaughter that Mr. Phelan was friends with Poncho Villa

Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric are both cousins to me and on photo to right they appear together on Larry King on November 1, 2006. Yet, they are not known to me to be cousins to each other.

Jubal Anderson Early could have won the Civil War, had he attacked Washington D.C. at Night. Jubal Early was "late" so Early did not whip the Yanks.

One is not always going to find positive things about their ancestors. In researching the Shippen Family I found that Peggy Shippen their first cousin many generations removed talked Benedict Arnold into being a traitor. The New York Times in 1932 published a series of articles which pretty much prove that Peggy Shippen talked Arnold into surrendering West Point to the British.

On Sarah's birthday circa 1986 I took the wedding proposal Benedict Arnold had written to Peggy Shippen and replaced the names so Bruce and Sarah Lee's were replaced for Benedict and Peggy. If I had not been so immature then I would have backed up my proposal with ACTION!

Years later she invited me to her wedding on Mae West's yacht in Marina Del Rey. I wish I had not gone. for it was sad for me. Sarah's marriage last a year and then she divorced. When Sarah Lee and myself went to Santa Monica College we took a scuba class together. Click here to see Shippen genealogical site.

Sarah has since married Herb Jefferies . Herb Jefferies acted in the 1930s as a cowboy and has a great voice. Herb performed with Duke Ellington and is still singing. What a voice Herb has, Sarah used to sing songs to me and that it one of the reasons I loved Sarah and her smile was another. I wish my voice was as good as Herb's, then my narration of my videos would not be as boring. Sarah Lee to the right. Sarah Lee may have another one in the oven, yet Sarah., you're my favorite dish. Herb Jefferies appeared in a 1973 film with a cousin.

Sarah Lee and Bruce a U.S. Male man!

Sarah and Herb preformed for President George W. Bush at the White House according to Sarah's mom, rubbing elbows with ambassadors and CIA agents. If you did not know it most ambassadors are CIA agents undercover.

Her niece also performed at the White House with Riki Martin at the inauguration. I carried the niece in my arms, which I never did with Sarah. When the niece cut her foot on the beach.Sarah and Bruce at wedding in 1997 to the left. Bruce meets Gogi Grant who sung the song Wayward Wind very talented Standard Singer.

Her brother Robert Lee Shippen has been on "60 Minutes" a CBS production on his duty as a Green Beret in the Vietnam War. I tried to find a direct family connection between Sarah and my family tree. Could not do it. I suppose we are related someone for Sarah's family is descended from the Lee's of Virginia and I am related to Robert E. Lee twice. It is through this family line that I am a cousin to Katie Couric. Katie and Sarah must be related for they are a lot a like personality wise.

They have an interesting family background I even wrote a 50 page booklet on their family history edited by Tim Shippen a brother of Sarah Lee Shippen. One great grandfather was first mayor Philadelphia for William Penn. Shippensberg is named in their family honor. Another group of Shippen brothers founded the first medical college in the U.S.A. at Princeton. In her day Sarah could carry the torch as well as Katie Couric looks in the photo to right.

At one time, when we attended Santa Monica College future Governor Arnold Schwarznegger had ask Sarah Lee to marry. To me that seems funny that both Arnold and myself had proposed to same lady. This was long before Arnold met Marie Shriver a Kennedy. Sarah's mom raised nine kids and made many sacrifices and did a great job. Who needs to be a mom when you have a ton of nephews and nieces ? The point with Arnold is that we lived in same area, went to same restaurants "Stella's" and "The Little Inn," he married a Kennedy and I have broken the secrets behind the JFK assassination.

Adamson's Cross Creek - Malibu - top half shows Sarah Lee and Bruce to Right and in bottom half is Santa Monica Al Egan's home on 10th Street. Jux-the-position.

Before Philadelphia was even a state it was owned by Lord Baltimore. Before there was George Bush, George Washington there was George Calvert first Lord Baltimore. The property in which Washington D.C. rests upon today, most of it, was owned by the Calvert Family in the Maryland Charter approved by King Charles of England. As you can see one thing leads to another. Photo to left shows Sarah and Bruce ten years ago. Last time we saw one another.

I have spent many years researching my family, tracing its history back hundreds of years. uncovering both kings, queens (not in drag) and saints, and have a site dedicated to this research Family history, for me has been a lot of fun. Click here to see.
