I descend from three siblings of William (Thomas, Stephen, and Hannah) and
twice from his aunt Jane. I have much more on this family if you need it.
Salisbury is generally unreliable for material this early, although most of
what you have above is correct.

I would be happy to correspond about the LEEs of Lyme, or the LEEs of
Farmington, CT.
