Can you help me complete the Wilmot/Bunnell line to PGM?

I need help fleshing out the line from Dwight P Wilmot to PGM William Bunnell and Ann Wilmot ASAP.

Background:

My local library had a last minute cancelation for their October public display case and our genealogy society is filling the void.  It will be called Connecting Cousins and be an overview of Genealogy with a focus on connecting my daughter to Dwight Wilmot.  (6th Cousins 5x Removed).  Dwight is a local historical figure and donated land for Wilmot Elementary School to which Evergreen High School was developed years later on the same land.  Dwight was among other things, on the School Board Commission.  My daughter is a Senior at Evergreen Highschool and is planning on becoming a Teacher, thus the connection.

Help Needed:

The line from Dwight to William Bunnell and Ann Wilmot is through Hanna Bunnel-11, wife of Jesse Wilmot.  While the Wilmot line needs work as well it is the Bunnell line that connects us that I am interested in.  Both my parents are descendants of this couple as well. So plenty of opportunity to Connect Cousins.

William and Ann are part of the Puritan Great Migration Project (PGM).

Thank you for any time you can spare helping me fill out these lines. I am busily building the backdrop, crafting the plan for the display, and writing the text about Genealogy and have not had time to do the actual genealogy.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is Clarissa Dwight a descendant of Timothy Dwight, President of Yale University, Term    1795  1817?
Thanks Frank, your help is greatly appreciated!
I do not know anything about the Dwight Ancestry.  Maybe put a question on the profile so we can come back to it?

I'll start working my way from William the immigrant to Hannah Bunnel-11 as soon as I finish checking out the questions here. in G2G

Pretty basic stuff, but the direct line and siblings all have short bios and sources.

Hi Michael,

William and Ann Bunnell were my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand parents.  http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Relationship&action=calculate&person1_name=Bunnell-10&person2_name=Cooper-1  but I know more about the Bunnells than the Wilmots.    Kitty

Hey, Kitty!  We appear to be 10th Cousins through this line.  If you want to look them over, that would be great.  Anne and others here have done so as well.
