Char,
I trust that by this time you know that your cousin Will and I think we have sorted out your line of descent (actually lines of descent) from ole Tom (Thomas Wetmore, d. 1681 in Middletown). Joseph Sylvester Wetmore, Sr. who died in Cherry Tree in 1845, is almost certainly the same Joseph Sylvester Wetmore, b. 19 March 1814, in Litchfield, CT, s. of David Wetmore and Sena (Cena) Bronson. David was the son of Elihu Wetmore, who descended from Samuel, son of Thomas, and Lucy Wetmore, who descended from Joseph, son of Thomas. They were third cousins. Lucy was also the sister of my ggg grandfather Peleg Wetmore.
Will has mentioned his cousin Char several times, so I feel I know you.
I assume Brown is a married name. I have a Brown line, some of whom ended up in western NY, Allegheny County if memory serves.
