In England, the name had been spelled "Whitmore". When they came to America in the early 1600s, their name was for a while still spelled "Whitmore". "At what particular time the family changed the spelling of the name, we have been unable to discover; are led, however, to think that the chidren of the third (possibly some few of the second) in part, and the descendants of the fourth generation very generally adopted the name of Wetmore." The first records using "Wetmore" began about 1682.^[1]
