  ---

the data below appears erroneous. The Johanna Jessup who married John Whitmore of the New Haven Colony (killed by the Indians in 1648) was the widow of John Jessup, and born Kerrich.

Joanna Whitmore (born Jessup) was born in 1593, in Rotherham, Yorkshire, England, to Francis Jessop and Frances Jessop (born White). Francis Jessop was born on November 12 1568, in Stourton, Le Steeple, Nottinghamshire, England.

Frances (White) Jessop was born in 1585, in Stourton, Le Steeple, Nottinghamshire, England. [This makes it impossible for this Joanna to be their daughter]

Joanna married John Whitmore circa 1614, at age 21 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut. [SIC: Stamford CT did not exist in 1614]

John was born in 1589, in Bristol, Somersetshire, England. [SIC: John was more likely of Hitchen, Hertfordshire, England]

They had one daughter: Anne Allen (born Whitmore). [SIC: the daughter of John Whitmore & Johanna Kerrich called Ann married George Farrar (AKA Farrow)]

Joanna passed away in 1652, at age 59 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut.
