General Notes (Husband)
Source on birth and baptism is Salem town records to 1750, gives C.R.1 as source. DOB is actually 31 July 172_ followed by complete date of baptism.
They lived in Holden around 1750-70 and had 13 children there. Also lived in Princeton. All of his children lived into their 90's. Another source has their first five children born at Bedford. Those children were born before 1750; one in 1751.
History of Jaffrey says they lived in Holden and Princeton.
I have Lucy born at Sudbury - which would seem to account for her and her husband subsequently living at Bedford two townships west of Sudbury and quite far from where the Raymonds lived after getting as far as Ashby and Worcester County - but it doesn't.
I have 16 children listed for him.
Michael Merritt's notes compiled by Charles H. Raymond, grandson of Amos and Julia. Appear not to be based on original research. Repeats information available in other sources, such as Samuel Raymond, other Raymond genealogical material, mythology of Miles Morgan's origins. His sources page is dated 1932, his notes themselves are dated 1938.
His listed sources:
Hinsdale - Mrs. Cora Lovell, librarian. Raymond genealogy records in library if any where. She has access. (the local records I got are all of the other Amos Raymond family, and he didn't even have Amos' wife's name.)
Mr. T. S. Barker. "Letty" (McEl___ Wright) less cenit? B. Might of Middlefield and 69 Maple Dill St Springield to mite to a him T. S. Baker of Hinsdale - who can help on Grandfather Raymond's cane. She thinks if I tell him what I want (Jan 6 1932)
Sue Eva S. Rellin new Jan 6 1932.
Mr. Thoams H Frissell

Miss Burns Virtu Barrett - "Eddy" Barrett's wife's daughter - 78 Chester St., Springfield MA Jan 1932 (Eva).
General Notes (Wife)
has a line of royal descent (alleged, I didn't check it out yet) via Skepper.
It was not Mercy who knew the psalter by heart. That was Huldah Rice, a cousin, who married her son. That line also carries manic depression.
I can't find a death record for her in NEHGS Massachusetts vital records to 1850.
