    Asa Orcutt entered his intentions of marriage with Parcena Burte both of Warwick } Feb 8th 1812.

  2. One would strongly suspect the wife is Person:Parthenia Burt (1). Source:Burnham, Roderick Henry. Genealogical Records of Henry and Ulalia Burt, p. 76 says she married Oliver Orcutt and d. 16 Oct 1827 "died at St. Louis, leaving one child, Maria". No such marriage record is found, no appropriate Oliver Orcutt has been located, and no such death record. Given the quality of some of the other data, it is not clear whether any credibility should be given to this source, but neither is there any clear evidence that Parthenia is the one who married Asa Orcutt. No death record is found before Asa's [second?] marriage in 1821, no wife signs any of Asa's many mortgages until he married Anna Saunders, so perhaps the intentions should say Oliver? (Humorously, one website names his wife as Anna Burt, stealing half from each potential marriage.)
