Questionable Information Found
There is a major problem with this family. There are only birth records for two children, and death records taken from church records rarely give the child's given name., which given the lack of birth records, is especially difficult to work with. On the other hand Stearn's History of Ashburnham, p. 616, has a detailed listing of the children in this family. The problem is that Stearns' information generally disagrees with the information from the church records and no information has been located to resolve the discrepancies. Further, Stearns shows a son Joshua born (and died) all while an older son named Joshua is said to have been alive, a highly improbable situation. But no other information source has been located.
