- ↑ Depending on what secondary source one looks at, there are at least three different ideas of which Thomas Lothrop married Deborah Loring.
Source:White, Elizabeth Pearson. John Howland of the Mayflower, p. 34, says the father Thomas, widower of Experience Gorham, m. (2) Deborah Loring after his first wife died. Meanwhile it says the son Thomas had a son Thomas Jr. but makes no mention of wife or marriage. The birth of the 3rd Thomas in Hingham to Thomas and Deborah, not to mention the age of Deborah (b. 1717/18) suggest this is incorrect, the father being over 60 and already having a son named Thomas. The man who married Deborah d. in Boston in 1740 aged 37 so clearly, it wasn't the father.
Source:Banks, Charles Edward. History of Martha's Vineyard, Dukes County, Massachusetts, p. 245, identifies him as son of Thomas Lothrop and Mehitable Sarson who m. (1) Elizabeth Norwood, m. (2) Deborah Loring. But baptisms in Boston's Old South Church show Thomas and Elizabeth [i.e., explicitly named in the baptism records] baptizing Sarah on 11 May 1735, their own son Thomas on 21 Jan 1738/39, Mehetabel on 16 Nov 1740, and maybe more. So this is clearly not the Thomas who married Deborah. The daughter Mehetabel shows Banks got the first marriage right, but the second belonged to a different man, as both Thomas and Elizabeth lived too long for that second marriage to belong here.
Source:Otis, Amos. Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families, p. 169, cites Source:Deane, Samuel. History of Scituate (Massachusetts), p. 170, in identifying Thomas as the son of Thomas Lothrop and Experience Gorham. However Deane does not indicate who his parents are, and then Otis belies his own identification by suggesting that he thinks the son Thomas actually married 1736 Mary Parker and stayed in Barnstable. However, there are no children born to Thomas and Mary in Barnstable, as one would expect if it was the son, and Mary Parker is most likely the father's second wife. Maclean W. McLean in "Thomas3 and Mary (Joyce)(Gorham)(Parker) Lothrop of Barnstable, Mass.", TAG, Vol. 41, p. 193, shows that Mary Parker was the father's second wife, he was her third husband, removing one of Otis' two proffered wives for the son, leaving him free to be the husband of Deborah Loring.
