According to Anderson, it is very likely that the passenger of 1635, the resident of Watertown and Cambridge and the resident of New Haven, were all the same person.
Anderson says that Matthias was born about 1610, based on the age of the passenger on the Susan & Ellen.
Anderson says ‘by about 1642’ Matthias had married Elizabeth ___ indicating that Elizabeth’s surname was unknown, not ‘Rogers’. No parents are listed for ‘Elizabeth Rogers’, so I suggest we change Rogers-6435 to Elizabeth Unknown.
Anderson says that Matthias Hitchcock’s origins are ‘unknown’. So we could detach his parents, George Hitchcock (Hitchcock-610) and Mary Franklin (Franklin-157). His supposed mother, Mary Franklin, is not even shown as George Hitchcock’s wife. Mary Franklin has two husbands: (1) John Hitchcock (Hitchcock-208) with a son Edward Hitchcock (Hitchcock-207) [who really was Matthias’s brother]; (2) John Hiscockes (Hiscockes-1) with two sons Thirza Hitchcock and Luke Hitchcock, supposed brothers of Matthias Hitchcock. Is there any evidence to support these two also being brothers of Matthias Hitchcock? Or that Matthias had a father John Hitchcock?
Anderson says that Edward Hitchcock (Hitchcock-207) was the brother of Matthias Hitchcock (Hitchcock-47), so for WikiTree there should be a profile set as the father for the two brothers. Could we change the first name for Hitchcock-610 from George to ‘Father’, and make Hitchcock-610 the only parent of both Matthias and Edward? I’m wondering if Mary Franklin and John Hitchcock, the parents of Thirza and Luke were real people who should just be detached from Edward and Matthias. And maybe the two John Hitchcock/Hiscocke profiles need to be merged?
