MARRIAGE: By 1640 when "_____ Totman wife of John Totman" is admitted to Roxbury church [RChR 85]. According to the church records, "____ Tatman, the wife of John Tatman," died on 7 September 1668 [RChR 179], but the town records give the death of "Johannah Tatman, wife of John," on 29 September 1668 [RVR 2:648]. Even though we don't know that Joanna was John's only wife, the fact that Jabez gave the name Joanna to a daughter born on 28 September 1670 suggests that John had only wife Joanna who was mother of Jabez.
