I am trying to find where she died and is buried and where her children were born.
I have from the "Vital Records of Otis Mass to the year 1850" written in 1941
pg.99 Otis Marriages "Knowles, Seth of Loudon and Dorcas Chapin of New Marlborough,
int.Dec.7,1794." This would be Seth's 2nd wife. His first Mercy or Marcy Clark
died June 2,1794.
My unproven children that Dorcas and Seth had are Ruth b.26 Aug. 1795 at Otis,MA she
marries Luther Farwell.
Jared b.1800 in CT ? and Roswell b. bef.1804 in CT?
Jared is my 2nd great grandfather.
I have Seth marrying for a 3rd time 3 Oct.1804 to Mehitable Bills.
In 1805, according to the HIstory of Canadice,NY by Beverly Deats. Seth came to that area
of NY. In the "Early History of the Town of Springwater,Livingston,NY by Orson
Walbridge 1887." He mentions Seth being one of the first settlers and that he was
from MA. All of the children born to Seth and Mehitable were born in NY.
I have that Seth had 17 children between 3 wives. The ones with Dorcas are the ones I need
to prove.
Any help proving them would be great.
