[Jrich Note: little seems known about Jeremiah, i.e, no birth, marriage, death, etc. No birth record is found in Barbour's records for Ridgefield, and it is not indicated how it is known Jeremiah belongs in this family. He barely fits into this family and if more was known about him, it could be he doesn't?]
↑ [The birth date about 1758 is based on a son having died 1788, aged 3, according to Olmsted Genealogy and Barbour's records for Ridgefield, so born about 1785, so father born by 1764 or earlier. Looking at the spacing of sibling births, the only real gap falling about 1758. However, see comments attached to Olmsted Genealogy.]
