Notes |
- some records think he was son of John Lathrop and Hannah Howse, however, per a post-in note in rootsweb tree:
There is at least some evidence to the contrary that the famous Thomas Lathrop is a son of Rev. John Lathrop: Captain Thomas Lothrop is listed in Rev E. B Huntington's "Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop family..." in the appendix on Unconnected Immigrants, Page 401-408. Huntington says "Of the parentage of this famous pioneer in early Massachusetts history, we have not been able to learn. He was a near kinsman of Rev John of Barnstable, and had preceded him, by some months certainly, to his American home. ..." Huntington gives a lengthy report of his exploits and reports he left no children. His sister Ellen Lothrop married Ezekiel Cheever of Salem.
Whether EB Huntington is correct, I do not know.
