Below shows Samuel and his sons David and Warren all on the same page. IF Eliphalet was born in 1775 he would have been 15 years of age. 1790 Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., MA: Samuel Stowell 1 male 16 2 females David Stowell 1 male 16 1 male under 16 1 female Warren Stowell 1 male over 16 2 males under 16 1 female In following Eliphalet in the census records the birth year of 1775 (Stowell Genealogy) may be incorrect. 1820 he was born between 1775-1794 1830 he was born between 1780-1790 1840 he was born between 1780-1790 1850 age 64, born 1786 Eliphalet could have been born between 1780 and 1790, with a 1786 birth fitting. IF Eliphalet was born about 1786, his mother, Hannah (Lambert) Stowell would have been 50 years of age - not impossible but unlikely. Is it possible that Eliphalet is actually the son of Samuel & Hannah's oldest son, Warren (born abt 1758)? In the 1790 census they had a male living with them of that age bracket. Also Eliphalet named a son Darius Warren Stowell. Open to any additional information or thoughts. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
