IDEAS - 3/30/2001: LOREN WHETON LINCOLN - is most likely made of surnames - Loring and Wheton/Whedon/Weedon/Wheaton.
Loring and Wheton and Lincoln families intermarried in Hull, Hingham and Taunton, MA. There were a number of JONATHANs in Wheton and Lincoln generations. There was a LORENE (as in Milton Lorene Lincoln) in Wheton line (where it was used for a female). I haven't a clue about FOTHON either by this spelling or other phonetic variations.
