Person talk:Lois Pond (1)

Is this really the same Lois Pond who married Joseph Lee? [8 October 2013]

Something has always troubled me about this Lois Pond claimed to be the wife of Joseph Lee. Something is not right with the children's marriages. We are told, that Lois, daughter of Samuel and Miriam, was born ca 1690, though she didn't marry until 24 Jun 1730 (NEHGR 53:55) at age 40. Now, obviously having several children after 40 isn't impossible, but I noticed this - children Josiah (11 Jul 1733), Lucy (10 Jun 1734) and Phineas (5 Nov 1736) all have known birth dates, but the other children - Joseph, Miriam, Elizabeth do not. Here's the problem - son Joseph is said to have married 23 Mar 1736 Mary Bayley of Guilford, Miriam to Mark Hotchkiss in 1750/51, and Elizabeth to Nathaniel Spencer on 27 mar 1744. Either the placement of some of the children is wrong, or it seems that at least a few of them were by another wife. Joseph is said to have Rebecca Lewis as a 2nd wife. I cannot find any discussion on this problem but it has always bothered me that this doesn't make any sense.--Daniel Maxwell 04:31, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
