In the last issue we commenced a series of articles on selected
portions of the Vital Records of Brookfield, with marriages and deaths of Capt.
Jabez’s descendants named OLMSTED. In this issue, we continue with surnames
other than OLMSTED. The numbers refers to the number of the individual in the
GOFA, and were assigned by the editor [COH]. We ask readers to review the
assignments.

# Here we have an inconsistancy between the GOFA and BVR, which
says that Cynthia [9159] and Lucinda [9160] were the children of Thankful
WATSON, widow, and were baptised in 1792. This implies that the mother,
Thankful, was alive in 1792. However, the BVR says that Thankfull [OMSTED]
WATSON, wife of Daniel, died on Jan. 2 (or 22), 1766, and that Daniel was
remarried to Anne SATERLEY, Mar.15, 1770. HWB also states this. If BVR and HWB
are correct, Cynthia [9159] and Lucinda [9160] must be the daughters of some
other Thankful WATSON, and are not descendants of Capt. Jabez.
For a final bit of proof, Hardwick VRs shows the death of Lucinda WATSON, "of the Gore", on Oct. 2, 1804, age 16 y, 11 m, 1 w, 4 d, which gives her a birthdate of Oct. 22, 1787, which is 21 years after the death of her "mother"!
