  • Notes 
    • Charles Lathrop and Joanna Leffingwell family, in Albert Leffingwell & Charles Wesley Leffingwell, The Leffingwell Record: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Leiut. Thomas Leffingwell, one of the founders of Norwich, Conn., (Aurora, N.Y.: Leffingwell Publishing Co., 1897), 81–83.
      "Few women have made a stronger impress on the times in which they lived than Joanna Leffingwell Lathrop. She was widely known as 'the Missionary Mother'—so many of her children having devoted their lives to foreign missions. A more complete account of her descendants thus engaged, may be found in the Lathrop Family Memoir."
