    Thomas Wiswall and wife Elizabeth came from England about the year 1635.

  2. As of writing, wikipedia says "He married Elizabeth Berbage in 1632, and had ten children", citing Source:Clapp, David. Ancient Proprietors of Jones's Hill, Dorchester, p. 48, which does not, of course, say any such thing. Wikipedia mentions a wife Elizabeth, and mentions only Enoch, Ebenezer and Ichabod of his children. Meanwhile wikipedia conflates his two actual wives, Elizabeth --- the mother of his children, and 2nd wife Isabelle Farmer, a widow, who some people say (presumably based on Jackson's History of Newton) had a maiden name Barbage. Several secondary sources show different children, including Linzee, and Anson Titus' article on the Wiswall Family in NEHGR, p. 40:59. Several of the children listed in wikipedia are only known from baptism records that do not list parents, and various other secondary sources speculate whether they belong to Thomas or his brother John.
