"The 1902 Genealogy of the Wheatley or Wheatleigh family, pp. 12-13, gives a list of children of a Frank Wheatleigh and Mary Fienes of Maiden Newton, Dorset, including "Dorothy, bapt. August 22, 1591". Though Wheatley says nothing about a connection to Bliss, Genealogy of the Bliss Family in America 1982 states that the Dorothy named in Wheatley was the same Dorothy who married Thomas Bliss on 25 Nov 1614 in Daventry, Northamptonshire. The Maiden Newton parentage for Dorothy (Wheatley) Bliss has now propagated through many online trees.
There is no evidence to support any part of this claim, and many records in fact contradict it:..."
They go on to list a series of issues with this connection, including the lack of evidence, the fact that Dorothy's marriage record in Daventry lists her as "of this p'isse [parish]" which implies she was from Daventry and the numerous other suspect claims in the lineage.
In light of these comments I suggest that Dorothy Bliss be disconnected from Capt. Frank Wheatley and Mary Wheatley. Any objections?
Sincerely,
Tamas Caldwell-Gilbert
