Stumbling T's

Twiss: Another of my New England families. Death dates for Peter Twiss Sr. & Jr. need to be unearthed. More biographical info on both men would be a nice addition. There is little available, so far. Peter Jr.'s daughter, Martha married Amos Singletary and their marriage date is missing as well.

Turner: Birth and death dates for Humphrey and John "the Elder" Turner are "about" and "between," exact is better. Generation 3 - Ezekiel has complete BMD dates, but daughter Elizabeth joined her ancestors with "between" dates at her demise. This was one of my favorite families to locate. John "the Elder" married Mary Brewster and gave me my Mayflower connection.

Towne: John Towne lacks a detailed birth date. Son William is short birth and death specifics. William's daughter, Rebecca's dates are well documented. She married Francis Nurse and had the misfortune of being on the wrong side of Salem Village politics in 1692 and was hanged for being a witch.

Titsoort: Dutch birth, marriage and death records are in short supply for this family during the 1600s. They pick up a bit once the family was established in the Hudson Valley of New Netherland/New York. Still numerous vital records are lacking for Abraham, Willem and Lysbet [married James Whittaker].

Tinker: Robert Tinker and daughter Mary have been the subjects of some research, since Mary married Mathias St. John/Sention, the primary immigrant for the St. John family. Still, more is needed on the Tinkers.

Thomas: I think the Thomas clan was Welsh. Dorothy Thomas married Robert Jennison c1719 in Boston. Here father was George and grandfather, Evan. Considerable research needs to be done on this family. The date I have for George's birth, 1655, makes his mother 53 at the time. Needless to say, I'm a bit suspicious about the info I have!
