Person talk:Daniel McLathlin (1)

Confusing two people? [29 July 2018]

From cited source: "Daniel McLathlin (Robert1) ... Married Sarah Edwards ... He died in Framingham, Mass., 1775, 'old and increpid.'" From Barry's History of Framingham, p. 207: "CLAFLIN, DANIEL, m. in Fram., Rachel Pratt ... [who] d. 1736. Daniel the f. d. in Fram., old and decrepid, ab. 1775." Temple's History of Framingham, p. 507, says Daniel Mac Clafelin "of Sud. 1690" married Rachel Pratt and "Mr. C. d. in Fram. 'old and decrepid', near the beginning of the Revolution".

Hopkinton VRs show death of Sarah, w. Daniel is in 1743. The last deed selling land in Wenham is dated 1722 signed by Daniel and Sarah.

The death of Rachel, w. Daniel, Jr. is in 1736. He then appears to marry Susannah.

The man who died in 1775 is most probably Daniel Jr., probably born soon after the marriage of Daniel and Sarah. No probate file is obvious, nor the source of the oft-quoted "old and decrepid". --Jrich 00:25, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
