The history of my Betts family in New England starts with John and Mary Betts (The Widow). I have not found much on this family and what little information I do find, is basically the same information quoted from the same sources, written in different styles.
Mary was a school teacher and ran a school out of her home in Hartford. She is referred to as the Widow Betts and sometimes Goody Betts in most things concerning her. Martha: b. 1625, d.
