Which Timothy Mather married Elizabeth Matson? An argument has long been made – based on a faulty entry in a Connecticut vital record book. Discovering the real answer requires taking a deep dive into Connecticut records, reviewing land, probate, militia commissions and more.

Great presentation on my family! ?
Another fascinating presentation...especially since a part of my family was in Lyme and Old Lyme during that time period, and attended that Congregational church during the time that she talked about, Some moved on to Marlow, Cheshire, NH about 1796/97. I would have to look up the other 5-7 families that all came from Lyme. I don't remember the name Mather, but will check it out!
A very complicated subject, and very interesting!
Great presentation
Very interesting and loved following her logic.
Bryna knows Connecticut so well and it shows! I appreciate her showing us the resources she used and taking us step by step through her process.
This is how geneology should be done. Not just stick someone with the same name into your family tree. Document, document, and verify. Shows how timelines are so important.
Outstanding
