Elizabeth Whitlocke baptised 30 December 1621, Father Thomas

Rose Whitlock from Hertfordshire is unlikely the wife of Abraham Parker.  She shows with John Whitlock  (WHITLOCK09 family) in Salem, Ma in the 1640's and we now know descendants of John Whitlock share YDNA with Thomas Whitlock (WHITLOCK16 family) who came in 1641 from Salisbury, Wiltshire.  Francis Webb was building a mill in Salem in 1629 and his sister Katherine Webb was married to Alexander Whitlock of PItton, Wiltshire in 1625. Pitton is three miles from Salisbury.  We suspect this was the connection that brought the Whitlock families to America.
