Notes:

Name:
There does not appear to be any record of his marriage or death, or of the birth of his children, with the single exception of Adam, dates of whose birth and death having been carved on the stone at the head of his grave in the cemetery at Southfields. The name of John Belcher appears in the list of heads of families living in New Cornwall when the first United States Census was taken in 1790.

A search of the records of Orange County reveals the letters of administration granted to his son, Adam Belcher on the death of John Belcher, who had made no will.As this document is dated Feb. 22, 1791, it is assumed that John Belcher died early in that year.
