Hi GMF My 3g grandmother, Rilda Sexton... married Silas Steward. Rilda is actually a person who I've been wanting to find out more about but never concentrated enough effort on, I guess. What I have is that she was born in South Plymouth, 20 Sep 1806. Not sure why, right now, but I believe this Plymouth reference is of Chenango County. I have seen it as Massachusetts, but believe that information is incorrect. Her daughter, Juliaette (as she referred to herself on a needlepoint she did at 15 years old, in 1848, I think) married Hiram Isbell. From the Robert Isbell book, Juliaette's birth was in Plymouth, Chenango. She is usually referred to as Juliet. Their daughter Edith married John Lippitt Phelps, the father of my grandfather, Stewart Burton Phelps. John -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
