    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!

    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.
