Trying to finalize information in my family tree here and it is getting frusterating. Let me explain. The original clues to my genealogy came through a family bible. It has hand written in it the genealogy of that side of the family. All the major stuff matches with what I have been finding but I am at one spot I can't find definitive information on. I am at Captain Thomas Bradford. This is what the bible has written in it. Capt. Thomas Bradford, born Mar. 1, 1657, Norwich, Conn. Married 1st wife, Anna Fitch (Daughter of Rev. James Fitch). 2nd wife, Ann Smith (daughter of Rev. N. Smith). I come down through Lieut. James Bradford which according to everything that I have found was the son of Anna Raymond. But I also find any number of combinations dealing with these 3 women and some places Anna Smith and Anna Raymond are the same person as Anna Smith Raymond. Does anyone know for sure what the deal is here?
