I'm trying to track a Dibble-Mead-Brown connection through Bedford & North Castle, so I thought I might put up this info. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with additional information. Did Josiah & Esther have any children?

Note with regard to witness “David Brown, of Bedford, weaver” that Josiah Dibble’s father George was a weaver,
and Esther (Mead) Dibble’s sister Martha married a Daniel Brown, likely the “Daniel Brown, weaver”, who died
in North Castle in 1787.
