Not yet. I haven't worked this problem for awhile and I used libraries here in Southern California and Ancestry. I'm not sure I looked at everything on Ancestry that might apply and am not on any paid services. Your suggestions are ones I need to explore. I lose the widow of Jonathan Squire, Mary Reeves Squire and kids until 1791 when she marries Caleb Hendee in Pittsford VT. She and the kids weren't on the census with him if I figured correctly. Her oldest step child, Jonathan Squire (from first marriage) was on the 1790 census. I guess he bought separate land? or.. He also named one of his children Bradley. As far as I can tell, the name doesn't show up in the Squire line until my third great grandfather. I've wondered about the significance of the name if any.
