To:

>Thomas WHITMORE (1593-1661) of MA..........WHO were the parents of
his wife HANNAH CHAWKLEY?

I suspect this is Thos WHITTEMORE. He doesn't fit in the MA WHITMORE
family.

>Thomas WETMORE (1615-1681) of of Wethersfield & Massabeseck,
CT...Came to America in 1635...WHAT was the maiden name of his wife
SARAH?

Sarah HALL, b. abt 1723-7 in Kent, ENG d. Dec 1664/5 in Middletown --
d/o John HALL + __?__. First of Thomas's three wives and the
ancestress of all with the surname WETMORE. Thomas & Sarah are my 7th
G-GPs.
