  • Notes 
    • 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 Lathrops were one of the most prominent and wealthy families in Norwich. Rhoda was a descendant of William Brewster of Mayflower and Plymouth fame. Allen and Rhoda were married at the New Haven Second Church."

      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."
