Will of John Birdseye of Paris, Oneida, NY 1839

This John Birdseye appears to be the same JB who was born in Stratford, Fairfield, CT on 16 FEB 1761, and who died in Paris, Oneida, NY on 16 OCT 1839.His first wife, Phebe Coe, died in 1831, and he married Joanna Calhoun, daughter of Ebenezer Calhoun and Dolly Marilla Foot, in about 1833.
John was a son of the Rev. Nathan Birdseye and Dorothy Hawley.None of the usual references list this second wife mentioned in his will, but all CT/NY Calhoun genealogies do list Joanna Calhoun of Paris, NY as having married John Birdsey or Birdseye.
