Parentage
She is the illegitimate child of Alice (Smith) Tinker, born after the death of Alice's first husband, John Tinker (d. Oct 1662) and before her marriage (second) to William Measure which occurred "shortly before 21 June 1665."
- On 15 February 1663/4, Tinker's widow, Alice, was examined in court "under suspition of being with childe." On March 17th following, before Obadiah Bruen and James Avery, she acknowledged "herselfe to be with child and further said it was by Jeremiah Blinman." On 31 May 1664, the New London Court found Alice Tinker, widow, "guilty of fornication, whereby the name of God is Greatly Dishonored," and ordered that she pay the public treasury a fine of £5. Jeremiah Blinman, the reputed father, was born at Gloucester, Massachusetts, 20 Jul 1642, the son of Rev. Richard and Mary (?Thompson) Blinman of New London. Soon after these events, he went to England where his father had returned to live, and married at Westleigh, Devon, 27 April 1670, Elizabeth Bartlet, daughter of Rev. W. Bartlet. However, Lieut. Samuel Smith of New London supposed he was the father of Alice's child and fled to Roanoke, Virginia. Smith's wife, Rebecca, subsequently obtained a divorce and in 1669 was living as the wife of Nathaniel Bowman of Weathersfield, Connecticut.S1
