Dorothy Jones

Notes:

Mention of "my brother Thacher" in the will of Richard Sares has led to the erroneous conclusion that Richard Sears' wife was Dorothy Thacher, sister of Rev. Anthony Thacher
Richard Sears and Anthony Thacher married sisters, Dorothy and Elizabeth Jones, who were of Dinder, Somersetshire, England, Dorothy marrying Richard in 1632, Elizabeth marying Anthony, early in 1635. Their brother was Richard Jones who came to New England in 1635 and settled in Dorchester, Mass.
The Ancestry of Thomas C. Brainerd by Dwight Brainerd, 1948 (p. 219) says Dorothy was a sister of Richard Jones who came from Dinder, Somerset with Rev. Joseph Hull's group in 1635. She m. Richard Sears in England in 1632 and he was taxed in New Plymouth Colony the same year.
