I'm related to the Wightman family through my great-great-grandmother Sophia. Her father was Isaac Wightman. Isaac was born 1816 in Philadelphia. His father Nathan Wightman was born in 1780 in Groton, New London County, CT. Nathan's father, another Isaac, was born in 1744 in Groton. Isaac's father was Timothy Wightman, a Baptist minister, born 1719 in Groton. Timothy's father was Valentine Wightman, a Baptist minister born in April of 1681. Through Valentine's mother-in-law, Mary Sayles, I am related to Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island.
