[Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 8th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

My ancestral line back through two generation of this WHITEHEAD family line is:

2009.  Jemima Whitehead, born 1655 in Jamaica, Queens, New York, United States; died 1694 in Huntington, Suffolk, New York, United States.

Children of Jonathan Lewis and Jemima Whitehead are:

4018.  Daniel Whitehead, born about 1603 in Kings Stanley, Gloucestershire, England; died 16 November 1668 in Queens, New York, United States.  He married before 1642 in New York, United States.
4019.  Sarah Armitage, born about 1620 in England; died about 1659 in Newtown, Queens, New York, United States.

Child of Daniel Whitehead and Sarah Armitage is:
*  Jemima Whitehead (1655-1694), married 1683 Jonathan Lewis (1658-1708).

The WikiTree profile for Jemima Woodhead (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Whitehead-476) provides limited information about her life and links to her parents.  The WikiTree profile, from the New Netherlands Settlers Project, for Daniel Whitehead has information about his life (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Whitehead-277).  This, and other family trees on WorldConnect indicate that her mother was Jane (Ireland) Ingersoll, not Sarah Armitage.  It all depends when Jemima was born - before 1660 or after 1660 when Daniel Whitehead married Jane (Ireland)  Ingersoll.  There were other children listed for Daniel Whitehead by his two spouses.
