Biography
- Some genealogies show her as Deborah Lathrop, daughter of Samuel Lothrop and Elizabeth Scudder. Others show her as daughter of Samuel Buell and Deborah Griswold. The Newcomb Family Association[1] follows the work of John Bearse Newcomb, which regards her last name as Unknown. If there is any other supporting evidence of her birth name or family tree, even if disputed or circumstantial or uncertain, please add it here.
- Samuel Lothrop alleged father died 1700. His probate named no daughter Deborah.
- Her grave says: "Died in hope of Eternal life thro ye mercy of ye Lord Jesus June ye 17 1756 in the 92 year of her age", meaning she was born between June 1664 and June 1665.[2]
- Deborah Buell was born in 1665.
- Marriage abt 1687 Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts

[Do you know Deborah's family name?] | N > Newcomb > Deborah (Unknown) Newcomb
Categories: Old Cemetery, Lebanon, Connecticut
According to this website: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/20965259/deborah-newcomb. her father is Samuel Lathrop, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lothrop-29 His second wife, Abigail Doane Lothrop, is buried next to him. But she is not the natural mother of Deborah because Deborah was born in 1664, well before Abigal's marriage in 1690. Deborah's natural mother is Elizabeth Scudder as already listed in https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Scudder-2
This is also a presidential ancestor so it needs to be sorted out properly.

Killingworth CT and Martha's Vineyard were not that close in the 1680s. Why wouldn't she find a husband closer to home?
Thanks!!
