I have found a listing in Rhode Island Vital Records 1630 - 1850: "Chadwick, Gurdon age 19 and Hannah Sullard age 52 Lyme, Ct after courtship of 3 weeks. Chronicled Feb 1, 1798" This same wording is listed later under Hannah Sullard but with Gurdon "Chandler". The 1800 census--CT, New London, Lyme: "Gurdon Chadwick -- 1-male to 25 and 1-female 45 and up" This Gurdon died 1801 had one son, also Gurdon, born 1800. Does anyone else have this ancestor or records of this marriage. I find it hard to believe she had a child at age 54, but it is not impossible. Cannot find any Gurdon Chandler in 1800. goldie@ptialaska.net
