I think that genealogists have also jumped a generation and that Amariah was born between
1770 and 1780. The 1830 census has both he and his wife listed as age fifty to sixty. Amos
and Phebe would be too old to have children by then.
I have found both of the children of Amariah and Honor who were still living in 1880.
Both of these, Robert in Iowa and Lucy in Randolph, Crawford County NY say that both of
their parents were born in New York.
Amariah's first child was born in Albany New York in 1794. S. S. Carrier said that
Amariah's father died in the Army. So what Carrier was in Albany in 1770? Amos, son
of Amos and Phebe was in the Rev. from New York, listed as 30 years old, deserter. (At
least I suspect that this was the son of Amos as there doesn't seem to be any other
place for him.} My thoughts are that Amos married there, had Amariah, went off to war,
deserted or was killed and didn't return. His wife, remarried to a Rowley (S. S. says
Enoch) and had two more children, Enoch and Polly. I can't seem to get a handle on an
Enoch Rowley of that time period in either New York or Conn. where there are lots of
Rowleys, and am wondering if S. S. was confused about the given name. Amariah named his
first child Jesse. Could that have been after a step-father? There are some Jesse
Rowleys hanging around.
Your turn. Linda
