1In the Hull article discussed in the previous post, 11 children were identified as being the offspring of Samuel and Rebecca.
Four daughters were listed in the following order: Joanna [Christopher] Burt, Perigrine [Nathan] Northrop, Jane [Ebenezer] Brooks and Sarah [John] Maynard.
The three youngest sons were listed in the following order: Daniel, Job and Ebenezer.
Two elder brothers: Samuel and Noah.
Two other daughters: Rebecca [Samuel] Lobdell and Abigail.
If we consider the order in which the children are named, we may have the birth order for the four girls named in the deed and the three younger boys; probably the two elder boys as well. That leaves two wild cards: Rebecca and Abigail.
Rebecca was deceased by 1773 and Abigail died in 1720.
Samuel [1672-77 - bef 1752] and Rebecca [1681 - c1756] were married about 1701 or 1702. Rebecca was approaching "risky" childbearing years by 1721. So we have about a 20 year stretch for 11 children to be born.
I believe that Rebecca was probably the eldest girl and Samuel the eldest boy. Ballpark marriage age for girls was about 18-22 and 20-24 for boys., but that can be tossed out with this group!
Rebecca married in 1722. Born say 1702
Joanna married in 1727. Born say 1703-1707
Peregrine married in 1730. Born say 1706-1710
Jane married in 1730. Born say 1706-1710
Abigail deceased in 1720. Born say 1710-1720
Sarah married in ???? Born say 1712-1715
Samuel married in 1727/8. Born say 1702-1704
Noah married in 1737. Born 1713
Daniel married by 1752. Born 1715-1717
Job married about 1749 Born say 1717-1719
Ebenezer married in ???? Born say 1721
Possible birth order: [subject to change]
Rebecca c1702
Samuel c1703
Joanna c1705
Peregrine c1707
Jane c1708
Abigail c1710 [as late as 1720]
Nathan c1713
Sarah c1715
Daniel c1716
Job c1718
Ebenezer c1721
Abigail and Sarah are the new wild cards. Abigail could have been born anytime between 1702 and 1720. Sarah's marriage date needs to be located to get a better read on her year of birth.
