Yup, that's where my Wetmore line comes from too, Middletown CT. Amy Seward Wetmore was my 6th ggrandmother. The furthest I could take the name back to was Samuel Wetmore, 1655-1746. His father was Thomas Whitmore, born in Essex, England, died in CT. Apparently, there was a spelling change at that point.
Small world, eh?
