Helena m. Cyprian Nichols of Hartford; Ruth m. John Read, the gr.
lawyer of Boston; Rachel m. 21 Mar. 1700, perhaps Peter, more prob.
Gershom Bulkley. Gr. confus. among fam. reports arises from the identity
of names, as herein is shown. Two Rachel Ts.m. in adj. towns two
Bulkleys, one of wh. was Peter, s. of Gershom but wh. Rachel m. this
Peter, or wh. Bulkley m. the elder of the cousins, Rachel T. wh. was ch.
of the younger br. T. must be very careful. weigh. In my opin. geography

of the sec. John, m. Abigail Clarke of Milford, says Chapin's Glastonbury,
168, wh. may he doubt. tho. no partner is assign. He had
John, b. 27 Feb. 1699; Joseph, 17 Feb. 1701; Nathan, 26 Nov. 1702;
Abigail, 13 Apr. 1707; Eunice, 26 Jan. 1709; Matthew; Samuel; Jerusha,

Wethersfield, younger s. of the first John, freem. 1662, m. 7 Nov. 1661,
Hannah, d. of Elizur Holyoke of Springfield, had Samuel, b. 1663; John,

Joseph, 20 Feb. 1672; Benjamin, 1 Mar. 1674; Rachel, 2 Apr. 1676;
and Nathaniel, 28 Jan. 1679; of wh. the first three were b. at Hartford,

Chester the sec. and Chapin says Rachel m. 1700, Peter Bulkley, wh.
may provoke inq. That her h. was a gr.s. of the Rev. Peter, may well
be; and that his bapt. name must make him s. of Gershom is almost certain,
for Peter, of Fairfield, s. of the first Peter; was d. leav. s. of the
same name too young to be m. in 1700; and Peter s. of Edward was d.
without leav. s. of this name. But greater doubt in my mind is of the yr.

yrs. bef. to Gershom, s. of the third Peter; and that John's Rachel, aft.
her f's. d. and cous. Rachel's m. had liv. at her unle Samuel's ho. and
