"...(9276) Ralph had at least seven children with Elizabeth between 1635 and 1647 and he died 1 June 1678. Amongst other locations where this is well documented, is an excellent 856 page text that is still in print that was produced by Patricia S Hemingway.
"However, a statement made in the book and repeated in various forms in other works is that Ralph Hemenway“…was born c1603 near Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England”. There is no evidence that I have seen that can support this assertion. I have tried very hard and a great many other researchers have struggled to try to find any evidence of Ralph’s parents, birthplace or even record of emigration to North America. To date, none of these have been found.

1 "...A great many individuals have undertaken this research and I believe they have all reached the same conclusion. That is that they are descended from (9276) Ralph Hemenway... Amongst other locations where this is well documented, is an excellent 856 page text that is still in print that was produced by Patricia S Hemingway.

-- Maurice Hemingway c/o http://www.hemingway.uk.com/ralph.htm
Because of his research, Maurice suspected that the descendants of Ralph are not related to any English Hemingways. This seems to be borne out by a subsequent
DNA study.
Five of the participants, descendants of Ralph, share a common ancestral DNA. Nine others, not descendants of Ralph, share a common ancestral DNA from West Riding, Yorkshire. Six others gave scattered results. This is conclusive proof that the Hemingways descended from Ralph (including author Ernest) are NOT related by blood to the Yorkshire Hemenways.
Ralph's DNA was as follows:

Almost all close matches to this DNA in Ysearch were of Hg R1b or its subclades, the most common W. European haplogroup. A Yorkshire origin is quite possible then; Ralph simply wasn't related by blood to the Hemenways there.

"In his will of 9 October 1638 Bernard Capen names as one of his trustees "my brother George Dyer...
"In 1634 Reverend John White (1575-1648) of Dorchester, Dorset , prepared alist of those adventurers who had been associat ed with him in the New England fishing trade from 1623 to 1628, and toward the end of the list is "George Dier, living in New England" [NEHGR 61:280]. This indicatesthat George Dyer was perhaps from Dorchester in Dorset, or at least from one of the three counties of Dorset, Devon or Somerset.
"In his will, dated 31 December 1671 and proved 2 August 167 2, George Dyer bequeathed to `my beloved daughter Elisabeth the wife of William Trescot...', to `my beloved daughter Mary the wife of William Pond...'; to `my loving son-in-law James White of Dorchester my looms for weaving with all the utensils thereunto belonging in case he the said James will make use of them in the said work..."

"Banks provides three guesses for the origin of George Dyer, all based on "Banks Mss.": Dorchester, Dorset; Fitzhead, Somerset; and Wincanton, Somerset. (Some additional data, still far from conclusive, are given in M&JCH 2:97, 3:56, 13:18.) The only evidence for a wife or wives for George Dyer, aside from the existence of his daughters, is the record of the admission to church of Abigail Dyer in 1636. Savage claims that Dyer had wife Elizabeth, but there is no record evidence for this, and there may be some confusion with the daughter Elizabeth. Related to the question of the wife or wives of George Dyer is the bequest to son-in-law James White. Does this imply a third daughter who married James White, or a marriage to a widow White who was mother of James?"
