Joseph Riant/Ryant, has been very elusive. Recently I met several cousins, who are also looking for this man. He was born c 1757, possibly in Haddam, CT and died in 1849 in ME. He served in the Rev. war for both Mass. and NH. He lived in Hillsboro Co, NH and in Sandy River/Farmington, ME. His wife was Sally (Salla on marriage banns) Powers (1764NH-1827ME). Between 1784 and 1810, they had 13 children, who lived to adulthood. (Sarah, Abigail, Anna, Susannah, Catherine, Hebthsy/Betsey, Joseph, Thomas, Margaret, Soffa, Zibiah[f], Elenor, Mary) At least one of their grandsons, Thomas Jr., "moved back" to CT. Joseph and Sally are both buried in Farmington, ME. Any of this sound familiar? I don't know anything about Sally, either. All the leads on her have gone nowhere. Thanks, Jan
