Carley, Samuel Crofutt, born 1734 in Danbury, CT, died 1831 in Bethel, CT (next to Danbury) was my gggggrandfather. Samuel Crofut, son of Josiah and Sarah (Benedict) Crofut, born in 1734 in Danbury, Conn., died in 1831 (age 98) married 1st, Sarah, daughter of Lieut. James and Hannah Seeley, of Bethel, on May 28, 1767 (born 1743 died 1780): 2nd, Abigail Seeley of Fairfield on August 2, 1781 (she died before 1806); 3rd, when past seventy years of age, Lucy Jane (Davern) Patchen (sister-in-law of his son Eri) and by her had four children, Moses, Aaron, Mabel, and Lydia and survived to see his grandchildren by this marriage. (Wm. S. Crofutt proprietor of the Bassett House in Derby some years ago, was a grandson of Moses. (Of his children by Sarah) The girls all died young; unmarried. Samuel Crofut served in the Bethel Militia during the Danbury Attack and was drafted into Washington's army on May 1, 1778, was discharged January 1, 1779 (Conn. Hist. Soc. Col. Revolutionary Lists and Returns, vol 12 page 124). He lived in the wildcat district of Bethel, now Elmwood (cellar of house still can be seen) and was a member of the Bethel Congregational Church, but engaging in a violent controversy with Ensign Theophilus Hoyt over the abrogation of the "Halfway Covenant" was expelled despite the fact that his father-in-law Deacon Seeley was the church's leading pillar. In politics he was a bitter Jeffersonian Democrat and never forgave his son Eri for turning Federalist. He was married three times- 1) to Sarah Seeley,on May 28, 1767, from whom I am descended through their son, Samuel, Jr. 2)Abigail Seeley, on Aug 2, 1781, (thought to be Sarah.s sister) I don't know if she had prior children or if they had any children together. 3)Lucy Jane Davern Patchen, date and place unknown. Lucy was the sister-in-law of his son Eri. (Eri was the fifth of six children of the first marriage to Abigail) Samuel and Lucy had: Moses, Aaron, Mabel, Lydia. This is probably your Mabel Crofutt. The dates are right. I don't know who Huldah was but will contact you if I come across any info Margaret Monnie
