Eunice Roberts was born 1 March 1747, Killingly, CT, daughter of John(4) Roberts and his wife, Lois Waters. Eunice died 3 Oct. 1795, age 48 years in Bethel. This information comes from my book, Descendants of Giles Roberts of Scarborough, Maine. The book contains much more information on this Roberts family, and quite a lot on the Owen family into which she married. Joann Nichols pwallred1@frontiernet.net wrote: > First Generation > > 1.
