Update as of 10-15-2009
After much digging through many pages
I have  finally got my line of grandmothers  back from Ruth Thurston .
I  may  try to get some some documentation on  this information but for now
just knowing the names in my family tree will do at this time.

We start with   Justina Thurston also known as Thruston born 1691 in England.
Justina was the daughter of John Thurston
or Thruston born 1668  and Elizabeth Elinor Cary born 1669
Both were from England  and they married in 1690
Justina  Thurston married John James  (1688 )  in 1812.
They had a large family before he died in 1725
 Ruth was born in 1726  and there is no known record.
 Justina did name  some of her other children with the Thurston name.
Perhaps  Ruth  took her mother's name as her father was deceased.
John James died in Va. and  I don't know how his family got to Delaware.
Thanks to a lead from Mr. Pusch who was researching the families of
the Mayflower which includes some of the Thurstons, and some
research published on Roots I was able to trace my grandmothers to  1300

Eliz E.Cary-1669 , Elizabeth Wells- 1634.  

Isabel Seborne1602, Sybil Monington- 1564,      
 Katherine Scudamore - 1539, Sibyl Vaughan -1518
Elizabeth Baskerville -1483 , Anne Morgan-1456
Margred Mathew -1440 , Gwellian Dafydd- 1411
Gwellian Philip -1363 ,  Nest  Gwilym - 1338
Elsbeth  Hywell  1322,  Joan Havard 1300

*Joan Havard  born in Wales in 1300 was the daughter of William Havard
nothing is known of  Joan's mother . She may have been Joan Powel,
but nothing to confirm a relationship has been found at this time.
Joan  married Hywell Fychan Hywell born 1298.  His line goes back past 1088
He was the s/o Hywel Ap Dafydd, 1259, his father was Daffydd (Ddynaw)Ap Rhys 1226
s/o Rhys Ap Hywell 1200, s/o Hywell Ap Trahaean,  1169 s/o Trahaean Ap Gwgon 1133,
s/o Gwgon Ap Bleddyn 1088
