Dorothy, I read your email with interest. You have Alexander marrying Deborah Rediate Farrowbush, which in the SCM is spelled Forbes, so I imagine you found this information elsewhere. Where? It's always good to have external confirmation of what the SCM has. The only info in the SCM on the wives is this: On page A13, it says Deborah Rediat was born in Sudbury MA in 1652, daughter of John Rediat and his wife Anne Dolt, who were married 26 Aug 1643 in Sudbury. Deborah marr-1 23 May 1679 in Concord MA, Daniel Forbes, as his second wife; Forbes died in Oct 1687 in Marlborough. Alexander married her 23 May 1688, and she died 22 Apr 1720/21 aged 68. Also page A13: Persis Witte died 26 July 1786 in New Braintree at the home of her daughter Persis Ayers. A219: No extra details about Lydia Cutting other than that they married in Leicester MA. Also: "According to tradition his father was killed in a bayonet charge in the French war 'and fought after being wounded until his entrails were on the bround.' Daniel bought land 26 Mar 1750 in Sandisfield, which he sold 9 June 1758 to Daniel Brown, Esq. He was one of the petitioners in 1765 to have the town of Paxton set off from Leicester; it was established in 1775. Daniel Steward was a selectman in 1779." On B246, it gives Rachael Warren as the daughter of John Warren. In Deerfield Jabez owned a 100-acre farm lying next east of John Warren's, his father-in-law, whose place was "a mile above the Utica bridge on Genesee street", bounded by the Mohawk river on the west, south and east, at the Big Bend. He moved to Paris, 18 miles south of Utica, where he bought land in 1807. After about 3 years he moved to Wolcott, Wayne Co., six mies from Big Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario. Hope this helps.

Thank you Mary. I believe my first information regarding Daniel Forbes was from the Wayne County Historical Society in Lyons, New York in the 1970's. Marjory Allen Perez was the historian. The name has been spelled Forbus as well as Farrowbush (love that name), both of which evolved into Forbes. I shall dig a little deeper to find other resources. Daniel Farrowbush died in 1687 , possibly in Concord. That date coincides with the date of a major Indian raid when many were killed. He was also a prisoner of Cromwell. Deborah Rediat, his wife, then married Alexander Stewart. Thank you again. If only we could find the birth place of Alexander.
