Born October 4, 1740, in Southborough (Orlin; VR). Also spelled Hephsibath and Hepzibah. She married Samuel Bullen from Brimfield, Hampden Co, MA, and may have returned to Brimfield with him. Their son lived there later, but his birth is not registered there, so it may have not been until much later that Hepsibah and Samuel moved.

Jehiel Munger, born at Brimfield 3 June 1737(VR), son of Nathaniel and Elisabeth. Hepsibah was Jehiel's third wife and was identified as "Hepsibath Townsend". This seems to be the only source for a marriage to Townsend. Her marriage to Munger is said to have been about 1798. (Hagerty, LDS)

Orlin lists Sarah as married to Ephraim Munger, but he was the husband of Joanna, not of Sarah. See Joanna and Eunice.
There is a gravestone for Sarah located in the so-called Blodgett Cemetery on Leonard Rd., Stafford, CT, where Edward and Sarah were buried. Sarah, the child of Edward and Sarah, died of smallpox on January 15, 1760, in her 18th year. This places her birth between January 1742 and January 1743.
There was another Sarah who married John Hunt, but she was the child of Daniel and Mary Crosby.

Born February 25, 1744/45 in Southborough (VR, Orlin), Orlin assigned #82 to him and continues his line over several generations.

Orlin is our only source for the existence of Luther "b. 1745." While there is time between the births of Israel and Elijah, the absence of a birth record at Southborough and the absence of a death record there do raise questions.
|
|
Born 31 May 1746, Elijah receives #84 from Orlin. There is no record of the birth in the VR of Southborough. There is a variant spelling used in several places: Abijah. There is a very slight possibility that there is another child, rather than merely a second name, but it seems more likely that there was just the one listed by Orlin.

Edward was born June 1, 1747 in Southborough (Orlin, VR). He married Sarah Torrey on May 27, 1773, in Stafford. "Edward was married during the War of the Revolution and soon after moved to Chittenden, Vt. died at age 90+ years. He had 5 brothers in the army but he was rejected for disability and was obliged to remain at home." (Orlin).

|
Joanna was born July 20, 1749. The account given in Orlin is wrong. See separate page for Joanna and Eunice.
|
|
Eunice was born September 17, 1751. She is not listed in Orlin at all. See separate page for Joanna and Eunice.
|
|
Orlin places Martha second in the birth order, but she was actually not born until November 27, 1753, according to the Stafford records. Orlin shows her married to "Jonathan Cross, a soldier in the War of the Revolution, wounded, pensioned and died. No children."
|
|
Parker was born December 10, 1755. He is not mentioned by Orlin, and nothing more seems to be known about him. He may have died in infancy.
|
|
Nathan was born about 1757; the date of his birth is apparently only found in Orlin. He married Mollie Perrin, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Perrin. Mollie's sister Mercy married Nathan's brother David. Nathan's grandson Edward Perrin Fay married Sarah Abbott, the granddaughter of Solomon. Four of Nathan's daughters are not followed by Orlin; Eunice married Abraham Story and had many descendants; Betsey married Joseph Wells and had many descendants. Polly married Roswell Gleason, but Polly died young; and Roswell then married her sister Millicent. All of these daughters are mentioned in Orlin, but their descendants are not listed.
|
|
David was born February 9, 1762. He married Mercy Perrin, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Perrin. Mercy's sister Mary (Mollie) married David's brother Nathan.
|
|
Solomon was born June 11, 1764. He very early became known as "Salmon" and passed on his name in that form to a long line of descendants. Orlin assigns #88 to Solomon (page 236), and includes some information about his family, but very little. Orlin didn't have access to this line's data.
