Governor John Winthrop, writing from "Hartford, July 15: 1673" to his son Fitz-John Winthrop, says: "Old Mrs Bryan, Mr Whitings mother, died at Middleton Sabath day was seven night, where she was buried the Tuesday following: had not beene sick above a weeke."
↑ The identification of this woman as "Susanna Wiggin" is probably based on a misinterpretation of her husband's will which includes legacies to "my sister Wiggin" and to "each of her children." Thomas Wiggin's second wife was Catherine Whiting, sister of William Whiting.
↑ Estimate that eldest child William Whiting was born c. 1630.
