Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Allen Wightman was born Between 1775 and 1794 (son of Allen Wightman and Rhoda Lathrop).

    Notes:

    I am including Allen as a son here because in the 1820 Federal Census at Marcellus,Onondaga Co.,NY, the following Wightmans are listed: Allen & Arannah. It appears that Allen is age 26 - 45 yrs, and Arannah is 45+.

    Since another Allen Wightman was born in 1805 (from gravestone info), they cannot be the same individual.

    Notes from Bruce Wightman at his website "Wightman Family History" [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wightman/Abraham1711.ht m]:

    "Allen Wightman, born May 30, 1742. He married Rhoda Lathrop February 9, 1764 in New Haven, CT. Rhoda Lathrop was the daughter of Cyprian Lathrop and Mary Stark.

    The following notes are from the family tree of Gary Wightman at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. He references as a source "Ancestors and Descendants of Simon and Catherine Wightman" by Marguerite B. Wightman.

    "Allen Wightman was a resident of Norwich, RI [CT?] as late as 1785, being elected that year to serve on the school committee of the town. He moved not long after 1790 to the region of German Flatts in the Mohawk Valley, NY, and later to the Township of Skaneatles, Onondaga Co., NY, where he was a farmer. The family were all members of the "Baptist Church of Christ'' there. He died intestate, his sons Aurunah and Allen, Jr., both residents of Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY, being appointed administrators. The graves of both Allen and Rhoda are in Lakeview Cemetery in the Village of Skaneatles."

    The following is a quote from that site:

    "Shortly after the completion of the Revolutionary War, Abraham purchased land in Herkimer Co., NY. He did not move there himself, but rather was investing and prospecting, as most did at this time. About the same time and not incidentally I'm sure, all five of his sons and his daughter Amey moved to New York State, mostly to Herkimer County." (Bruce Wightman)
