    Jabez (1806 – 1880) was born in Washington County, NY after the return of his parents from Ontario. He married Orpha Knight in 1832 and then moved to Watertown, NY. They had 3 sons. Jabez was a farmer. The connecting of him to the Jabez and Eunice family came through a seven-page hand written document in 1929 by Bessie Olmstead Croft, granddaughter of Jabez and Orpha. It basically outlines the descendants of the Watertown Olmstead’s, tying them to Hiram of Canada (# 1 above). There are some errors, but the real significance is that it confirms that these families were one and the same! In spite of the fact that most lived in NY and some had moved to western states, they had kept in contact with each other, confirmed by the information in the document. It was passed on to me from Peg Johnstone, great-great granddaughter of Jabez and Orpha.
