Notes:

Name:
One of his descendants identified his wife as Betsey Lockwood. He was married with two female children before the time of the 1810 census, and was possibly married as early as 1800, when he does not seem to have been included in his father's household.

The gravestone (no longer standing) of Betsey, wife of Frederick Waterbury, in the Slason Cemetery said that she died 16 December 1849 age 64. If she was indeed a Lockwood by birth, then she was probably the Betsey Lockwood born in Stamford 8 November 1787, daughter of Jeremiah Lockwood Jr. and his wife Elizabeth Holcraft. In fact, Frederick Waterbury was named administrator of the estate of Jeremiah Lockwood Junior, late of Stamford, on 2 November 1814.

There was only one Frederick Waterbury inStamford or Darien during the time period covered by the censuses of 1810 through 1850, and he has been shown in Part 1 of this article to be a son of Lt. John Waterbury. However, Frederick Waterbury was also involved in a series of deeds to and from distant Waterbury cousins from 1813 to 1818. These deeds related to the property of John Waterbury who died in Stamford in 1813. Family members associated with these transactions included a Henry Waterbury, who might be confused with Frederick's brother. But since this Henry Waterbury was always designated "of New York City" in these and other Darien deeds as late as 1842, he could not have been identical with Frederick's brother, Henry Waterbury, who was in Ohio by 1840 (even though that Henry had lived in New York City at one time). Perhaps Frederick acted merely as an agent for his distant Waterbury cousins, or perhaps his wife was closely related to these distant cousins.

Stamford land records of 1811 and 1820 indicate that Frederick Waterbury owned various properties in Stamford in those years, two of which were purchased from his brother Peter Waterbury on 1 April 1811 and 8 November 1811. All of these holdings appear to have been in the Hoyt Street area that became part of Darien in 1820.

In 1850 census, Frederick Waterbury, age 73, was living in Darien with the family of Belina W. Noyes, his son-in-law.

Frederick and Betsey (Lockwood?) Waterbury had a large family of ten children, but information on most of them is sparse. Frederick did not leave an estate to probate, so the usual list of heirs and land transactions among them are completely absent. No family Bible ha been discovered, and the Darien civil and church records are also little help. Fortunately, a small notebook kept by Belina W. Noyes has survived and its contents were published in 1973. That notebook recorded birth dates for all of Frederick and Betsey's children even though no relationships were stated. It also has death dates for some of them, as well as birth records for all of the Noyes children shown below.

Frederick married Betsey LOCKWOOD. Betsey (daughter of Jeremiah LOCKWOOD and Elizabeth HOLCRAFT) was born on 8 Nov 1787 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died on 16 Dec 1849 in Darien, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Slawson Cemetery, Darien Connecticut.
