Thomas Whitmore, born in 1615 in England left Bristol, England, with his family in 1639 to settle in the Bay Colony of Massachusetts and eventually to move to the Middletown, Connecticut area. There, the spelling of the family name changed to "Wetmore". Edwin Marshall Wetmore and the six Wetmore fathers preceding him in direct line of ancestry sired a total of 82 children, an average of 11.7 per father. The range was from 6 to 17. Three mothers were involved in one case and two in another, but the largest family, 17, was the product of one mother.
The above information was compiled by Stanley F. S. Wood in April 1988.
The first three generations of Edwin Marshall Wetmore's descendants produced a total of 90 children in 32 families, an average of 2.8 children per family.
