Unbeknownst to me, before I came across Marfy Goodspeed's article, I was trying to trace back a whole host of Kitchens, which were not attributable to belonging to the Henry Kitchen (c.1690 1745) m. c.1720 Ann Wheeler (c.1690 after 1748) line.
Research lead me to the oldest of these three brothers: (2.1) James Kitchen (1679 1761) m. c.1725 Elizabeth Furman (1695 1776).
Which in turn lead me to this article below.
Tremendous research all sourced and confirmed has been made on this Wheeler line during the past six years, with my half sister's DNA recorded on 23&me.
So it now begs the question as to whether or not a match can be confirmed to the descendants of the Furham and Lambert lines.
This would be the foundation to try and get these branches as definitive as possible.
The Kitchen Tree

This Kitchen family arrived in Hunterdon County in the early 1720s, and quickly became established. Ive published this tree to support Kitchens Mill, my article about property in Sand Brook, Hunterdon County, owned by Henry Kitchen and his son Samuel.
There are other Kitchens who appeared in Hunterdon County, but I do not know if they were connected to Henry and his brothers or not. They are listed at the end of the page. Children of Kitchen daughters are included but not grandchildren. Surnames of spouses who have a family tree on this website are highlighted in green.
First Generation:
(1) Unknown Kitchen of Salem, Massachusetts ?
Most researchers identify the Kitchen brothers of Hunterdon (second generation) as sons of a John Kitchen of Salem, Massachusetts. However, I have not seen convincing evidence that the John Kitchen who did reside in Salem was actually the father of the three brothers.
Second Generation:
| (2.1) James Kitchen (1679 1761) m. c.1725 Elizabeth Furman (1695 1776)
| (2.2) Henry Kitchen (c.1690 1745) m. c.1720 Ann Wheeler (c.1690 after 1748)
| (2.3) Thomas Kitchen (c.1690 1764) m. c.1725 Sarah Lambert (c.1690 c.1770)
