GEDCOM Note

Two Mary Thompsons in New Haven

Mary Thompson born in New Haven in 1642, daughter of John and Dorothy Thompson has been merged and confused with Mary Thompson also born in New Haven but in 1652 and daughter of John and Ellen Harrison Thompson. Since both women’s father’s name is John, the best way to distinguish them is by their husband’s name. Mary Thompson (1642) married John Cooper, Jr. Mary Thompson (1652) married Samuel Lines.
