** Email from Linda Reno 10/26/2004:
I really, really believe that Deborah Sothoron was the daughter of John Johnson Sothoron (son of Samuel Sothoron and Jane Clarke) and Ann Sothoron (daughter of Richard Sothoron and Elizabeth Letchworth). She married John Letchworth, whose parents I don't yet know, but would be willing to be bet he was Deborah's cousin via her grandmother, Elizabeth Letchworth. Deborah was born in 1781 and her birth year falls right in line with Rebecca Sothoron (1776) and Elizabeth Sothoron (1779).
I think that Deborah wasn't involved in the case below because she was married two years prior to the land transaction and since John Johnson Sothoron was trying to save his land, he probably wouldn't have wanted to take a chance of getting his son-in-law involved.
