Evelyn May Lenfest (18 May 1892 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts – Apr 1985 Goffstown, Hillsborough, New Hampshire). Her Lenfest pedigree is Evelyn May Lenfest 5, Charles Grant Lenfest 4 (1868 – 1927), Solomon Lenfest Jr 3 (1822 – 1883), Solomon Lenfest Sr 2 (1795 – 1858), Peter (Pierre Lenfestey) Lenfest 1 (1739 – 1820).

All Lenfests in the United States are descended from a single immigrant, Pierre Lenfestey of Parish St Pierre du Bois, Isle of Guernsey, Channel Islands, a small island off the coast of France (with the exception of a few families that migrated here from Canada). I have compared DNA from Ethel Gertrude Lenfest's family against current Lenfest family members still living on Isle of Guernsey and we have a close autosomaal chromosome match.

Evelyn May Lenfest's father was Charles Grant Lenfest (21 Dec 1868 Cambridge, Massachusetts - 26 Jan 1927 Boston, Massachusetts) son of Solomon Lenfest, Jr (15 Aug 1822 Boston, Massachusetts - 28 Jan 1883 Cambridge, Massachusetts) and his wife Jane Turnbull (Oct 1824 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - 10 Jan 1909 Winchester, Middlesex, Massachusetts).

Her mother was Maria Adela Sampson (3 Oct 1867 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 14 Aug 1949 Belmont, Middlesex, Massachusetts) daughter of James Edward Sampson (14 Nov 1839 Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts - 30 May 1913 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts) and Henrietta E Bird (9 Jan 1841 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 29 Nov 1915 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts).

In 1919 in Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts, Evelyn May Lenfest married Ralph Kenyon Hope (16 Dec 1888 Chelsea, Suffolk, Mass - 31 May 1937 Everett, Middlesex, Massachusetts) son of Radford Cecil Hope (1853 – 1907) and Helen Adelaide Bathrick (1858 – 1923). Ralph and Evelyn Hope had two two children:


1) Barbara Helen Hope (1921 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 21 Sep 1966 Goffstown, Hillsborough, New Hampshire) who married Edward White Robinson (17 Mar 1919 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 27 Feb 1965 Barre, Washington, Vermont).

2) Robert Manning Hope (8 Nov 1923 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 27 June 1960 Chelsea, Kennebec, Maine) married Marjorie Emma Corliss (16 Apr 1924 Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts - 23 Jan 2013 Maine). They were the parents of two daughters and one son.
