Notes:

Name:
"Connecticut Ancestry": David COULD have been many years older than Rachel, and quite advanced in years when their children were born, but I can find no other David of an appropriate age to account for this marriage, and must place him here not having any other alternative. the fact that his father specifically gave him land in 1711 does not prevent his being a very young person at the time. It does not appear that he had an earlier marriage, at least not one resulting in any surviving children. His will, made on 30 Oct 1769 and proved 1 Jan 1788, mentioned his wife Rachel, and only those children known to be Rachel's namely David, Nehemiah, Israel, Nathaniel, Rachel and "Asona".

David married Rachel HOYT on 30 Nov 1738 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Rachel (daughter of Samuel HOYT and Mary SCOFIELD) was born on 31 Jan 1714/5 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
