I'm trying to verify the presence of the Jacob and Abigail (Harwood) Hildreth family in the Hillborough County area (ideally in Derryfield/Goffstown) in the period 1745-1765. This is what I think I know: Ephraim Stevens married Dorcas Farmer 27 Sep 1781 in Derryfield. The parents of Ephraim are known to be Ebenezer and Esther/Easter (?) Stevens, and the parents of Dorcas were Joseph and Dorcas (Vickery) Farmer. I am trying to find the identity of Ebenezer's wife Esther with one critical clue. It seems that Ephraim and Dorcas named some of their children after their parents (i.e., Dorcas Vickery Stevens, Joseph Farmer Stevens, Ebenezer Stevens), and one of their children was named Esther/Easter Hildreth Stevens. In searching for a likely candidate, I found Esther Hildreth, daughter of Jacob and Abigail, born 26 Aug 1731 in Chelmsford, MA. She is born at the right time to be the possible wife of Ebenezer, and I just need to place her in appropriate proximity. I would estimate their marriage date to be about 1750-53 based upon the births of their children. I know there are Hildreths in the area, and I believe that includes Jacob, but I cannot yet prove it. Is anyone familiar with this family, and can you place them in the neighborhood of Derryfield/Goffstown? If you have access to local genealogies/town histories from the area, I would appreciate hearing if you found any reference to them. I look forward to hearing further about the Hildreths. Gordon
