    I will begin with Jabez Olmstead Jr. who is familiar territory with me. He was born around 1773 and was probably the son of Jabez Sr. and Miriam Husse Olmstead of Hebron, NY. He was married first to Eunice and moved to Burritt’s Rapids, Ontario in 1799. The first record is an application for leasing of lot 28 in Marlborough Twp. This family, consisting of Jabez 28, Eunice 27, Hiram 3, and Noah 2, was listed in the early assessment records of Burritt’s Rapids in 1802. Since there has been no further record found of Jabez Jr. and Eunice in Ontario after 1803, my assumption is that they returned to Hebron, NY.

    The federal and state census records of Hebron confirm that there were at least two Jabez Olmstead’s enumerated from 1790 through 1825. An older Jabez (with a small family) in 1790 and 1800 and a younger Jabez (with a large family) in the years following. My guess based on all evidence collected over the years is that Jabez Jr. returned from Ontario to Hebron by 1803, possibly because his father was ill or had died.

    (9145) JABEZ OLMSTED, b. in Berkshire County, Mass., abt. 1760; m. abt. 1780, Elizabeth.

    He enlisted in Capt. Judah Williams' Co. in 1777 but was transferred to Capt. Warren's Co., Col. Bayley's Regt. The enlistment was for three years but there does not appear to have been any record of the time of actual service.

    After the close of the war he removed to Hebron, Washington County, N.Y. But one child is found recorded in Williamstown, Mass. He is known to have had sons.

    In 1790 he was living in Hebron, N.Y. His family then consisted of his wife and two sons under 16 years of age. No further record of his family has been found. He may have been one of the sons of Jabez who removed to Canada.
