                  b. Abt 1578

 

 

Mary Wetherell and Thomas Oldham were married 20 Nov 1656, Scituate. 

 

Mary Fisher and William Wetherell were married 26 Mar 1627 in St. Mildred’s, Canterbury, Kent, Eng.

 

Joan Lukes married Thomas Fisher 4 Oct 1597 at Canterbury, Eng.  One source has her last name as Lake.  Note that this Thomas Fisher is not the Thomas Fisher listed in the Great Migration Directory, so Mary's father did not come to New England between 1620-1640.

 

The book The Clapp Memorial, about the Clapp family in America, says in a note at page 107 that there is a tradition that Rev. Wetherell's mother was a daughter of John Rogers, "the Smithfield martyr."  Rogers is an interesting part of the story of religious discrimination by the English government against reformers.  He was burned at the stake on Feb. 4, 1555 at Smithfield, Eng..  If this tradition is true, John Rogers would be the 11th Great-grandfather of the Bissell 3G generation.

The Hatfield Attack

 

Robert and Editha also had a daughter Sarah (Thomas’ sister) who married Samuel Kellogg.  Sarah and her infant son Joseph were killed by Indians Sept. 19, 1677 in the attack on Hatfield.  Her son Samuel was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Canada; he eventually returned to Colchester, CT., bought land from his brother Nathaniel and married Hannah Dickinson.  

 

While men were out working in the fields, the Indians attacked, burning houses, killing 12 people and capturing 21.  It is likely that Samuel was returned from Canada by Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings, two Hatfield men whose wives and children were taken captive.  

 

Waite, an accomlished Indian scout, and Jennings got approved as agents to bargain for the captives, built a canoe and went up Lake George and Lake Champlain in the winter to Quebec City, Canada.  They may have been the first English colonists on Lake Champlain.  They were able to secure the release of 17 captives and returned to New England in May 1678.  A quarter century later, Waite was killed in the Deerfield Massacre that was part of Queen Anne’s War.
