Upon looking further at Dow, I see that he claims (pg. 919) that the Ann PHILBRICK who married Stephen BERRY was born on 12 Mar 1691 to Thomas and Mehetabel (DALTON) PHILBRICK. Joseph and Tryphena's Ann was born almost 3 years later, and Dow does not state whether or whom she may have married.. I have no proof, other than the notation above about the names of the children of Stephen and Ann, but I question whether Dow and Chapman (below) were correct as to which Ann Stephen BERRY married. They must have had some reason(s) for that conclusion. Further research?? > > Rev.

It looks like I've only managed to muddy the waters further. -- Dick Marston, Marston Manor, [ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1638/ ]; Rockingham County, NH, GenWeb County Coordinator, [ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1706/ ]; Webmaster: Southern California Genealogical Society, [ http://www.scgs@keyconnect.com/ ]; Owner: NHROCKIN mail list (327 subscribers).
