Family talk:Samuel Thorne and Hannah Farrington (1)

Doty [25 September 2014]

Doty is crazy if he thinks the widow of Benjamin (who married the first time 18 years before Samuel was born) married this Samuel Thorne. He offers no proof except the coincidence of the name Hannah, one of the most common colonial names. The marriage record clearly identifies Hannah Farrington as the daughter of Thomas Farrington so he is arguing against the record as well, a warning to those who believe everything he says without checking the records. The will of Mary Doughty mentions her cousin Hannah, widow of Samuel Thorn. Cousin would mean niece by modern terms, i.e., the daughter of Thomas Farrington and her sister Elizabeth Way, or maybe the daughter of a different Thomas Farrington and her other sister Sarah Way. Where widow Doughty comes from is unshown and unfound. --Jrich 03:25, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
