Would there be a baptismal record in one of the churches? She married Thomas Tibbetts 6 May 1844. He was supposedly born 21 April 1776 in Rye, Rockingham Co NH. I am not convinced that either Frances or Thomas was born in Rye, NY. The Tibbetts were primarily a Maine family and both Thomas and Frances died in WIndsor, ME.
"Vital Records of Rye, NH", by Kathleen E. Hosier lists the following christening record for your Thomas TIBBETS: "TIBBETS: Thomas, son of Jacob, baptized 14 Apr 1776" Thomas apparently had the following siblings, also baptized at Rye, NH: Mary TIBBERTS, dau of Jacob, bapt 13 Sep 1767 Molly TIBBETS, dau of Jacob, bapt 17 Oct 1773 Samuel TIBBETS, son of Jacob, bapt 8 Dec 1771 Although there are some listings in the christening records for the surname YEATON, there is no entry for a "Frances" chr at Rye. The Birth Records from the Town of Rye (also in Ms. Hosier's book) do not include any YEATONs or TIBBETS references. There were a lot of YEATON families living in New Castle and Portsmouth, NH - both of which are also in Rockingham County and very close in distance to Rye, NH. I would suspect that she is from one of those families. [Unfortunately the YEATONS of New Castle (and vicinity) are a very, very tangled mess and there is a lot of mis-information available out there on the Internet about their 'family linkages'--as well as genuine research, so be cautious before 'assuming' anything and try to verify in local records if possible...]. As for the Maine vs New Hampshire locations, don't forget that York Co, ME and Rockingham Co. NH are only across an inlet from each other.
