Deidamia Alford appears as "Deidema" in her birth certificate, but it has been changed to the common spelling of the name, "Deidamia", also spelled "Diodeme", meaning "she who has patience in battle". [1] Deidamia was born on 13 Jan 1744, at Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut Colony. [2] The date of her death is not known. She was the daughter of Col Benedict Alford (1716-abt 1790) and Rebecca Owen (1736-1831). [3] Benedict and Rebecca had six children, but Benedict had another eight by his first wife Jerusha Ashley (abt 1723-1761), so there were at least 14 sibilings in the family. [3]
