Ned... thank you very much for sending this to me... I see in Torrey pg 512
he didn't know much about John and didn't give his wife a name.
Do you think that Hannah MITCHELL was born in Hartford? I went
into the ancestral files and found they have her born 1662 at Pinefield,
Hartford, Connecticut.. and in another place in the ancestral files I
find her born abt 1667 of Southampton... so many people have different
sources... and then I think that a lot of them don't have any sources!
Again, Thank you for your help
