Also found that Sarah's son, John was b. 1795
and listed in the 1865 state census living in Owego township, Tioga Co, NY. he is living with his sister Elizabeth(Betsy) (Sergeant) Cooper. His relationship to Elizabeth is listed as a Brother! He was 70 years old, birthplace listed as Schoharie Co, NY. That pretty much proves to me that my Sarah Sisson Deforest(second wife of my gggg) did indeed, Have a son, named John Deforest, who was half brother to my Sergeant ancestor's who were children of Thomas Sergeant..
Thomas and Sarah may have lived in the New Berlin area of Chenango Co first.
Perhaps She and my gggg grandfather Thomas were m. in Schoharie Co, NY? Later NY census's show Sarah's daughter Sally (Deforest) Jacox, and her husband, Dr. William Jacox as living in Butternuts Township(Gilbertsville)Otsego Co NY by 1820, right next to Thomas and Sarah and 1830.
