I have ancestors who lived in New Haven and Milford, CT during the years which you have listed for them. I would like information on the children of Wheeler and Methitable Sperry Oviatt....especially church records of the baptism or birth of a son named Wheeler Oviatt ca. 1795 to 1799. He might, also, have been the son of a Charles Oviatt as well during that time period. Methiable and Wheeler had two girls...one named Methitable who died young in 1825 (?) and Lucy Oviatt who was born after 1800 and eventually married John Lemonier. They, also, had two other sons named Richard Sperry and Alexander in 1802 and 1805 as well. The 1800 Census records lista a male child in the household under tha age of ten...I'm hoping he is my Wheeler. There is a death record for a son and daughter in Milford's town record who suuposedly were born and died at approximately the same time. If I can find a baptismal record, it might prove that the son, my Wheeler, ! lived. I have seen a probate record that does list a Wheeler Oviatt which includes the date of his birth in 1797 under Charles Oviatt's records with no explanation given. Anyway that you can help me would be most appreciated. thank you... Diane recordbug@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
