David BECKWITH of Genesee Co. NY
David BECKWITH 1754-1834 married c1793 Abigail. Was her maiden name Whiting or Whitney? She was born c1757, died pre-1840?
Did David have a first wife? it appears that at least two children were born before 1793!
They are said to have had at least 9 children? Who were they? Could the family make up be somewhat as follows:
1. Davidborn 1774-1784.
2. Mary "Polly"born 1787/88 VT
3. a femaleborn 1790-1800
4. William Whitneyborn c1794 VT
5. Josephborn c1795.
6. Perry Greenborn c1795 NY
7. a femaleborn 1790-1800.
8. Warrenborn c1799 NY
9. Huldahborn c1802
10. Richardborn c1802.
11? Jonathan
This is simply speculation based on census records. Can anyone corroborate any of this?
David died 1834 in Genesee Co. NY. There was a probate of an estate for a David Beckwith in Genesee Co. NY in 1841. Was this for this David after his wife had died? Does anyone have access to this probate estate file?
Any help appreciated....Mahlon Erickson
