Apollos Rich [#135], s/o Elkenah Rich [#71, p. 83:413, and Abigail Gilmore], born at Ware, Mass., 30 Sep 1799, died 27 Dec 1845, m. 27 Jan 1823 Bethia Banister.
[Note: the Ware birth record says 1798. This was only 4 months after the parents marriage. Additionally it leaves over 3 years to the next birth. Those are reasons why one might suspect it is wrong. On the other hand, the age at death seems to suggest 1798 is correct, as of course, does the lack of record for 1799.]
