Notes.

 

The Day family is the source of the "cousin" link to investor Warren Buffett.  There's a complete chart on Buffett's page on this website, but Thomas Day's brother John Day, b. 1645 in Hartford, had a son John Day, b. 1676/77 who married Grace Spencer.  Their descendants included Warren Buffett, so the common ancestors between Mr. Buffett and the Bissells are Thomas and John Day's parents, Robert Day and Editha Stebbins, see Burt Chart 2. 

 

Thomas Day also had a sister Sarah Day who was killed by Indians 19 Sep 1677, along with her son Joseph, in the last Indian raid on Hatfield, MA. 

 

From the Ives Family History Blog, Thomas Day moved to Springfield with his mother Editha after his father Robert Day died and she married Elizur Holyoke.  Thomas married Sarah Cooper 27 Oct 1659.
