Also, the birth dates of the Chittenden children and the Post children make it plain that they could not have been born to the same woman -- not unless she was a bigamist.

April Dauenhauer: I agree that Nathaniel Chittenden did not marry Elizabeth Stevens Post. He did marry Elizabeth Stevens, daughter of Thomas Stevens and Mary Fletcher Stevens. I do not know how Elizabeth Stevens Chittenden became hopelessly confused with Elizabeth Stevens Post. Talcott's "Chittenden Family: William Chittenden of Guilford, Conn. and His Descendants" never mentions an Elizabeth Post. However, Elizabeth Stevens Post is listed as Nathaniel Chittenden's wife on almost all the internet genealogy sites. Post's descendants have become intermixed with Chittenden descendants on these sites to a degree that is daunting. But Elizabeth Stevens Chittenden and Elizabeth Stevens Post are not the same person. Elizabeth Chittenden died in 1738, and Elizabeth Stevens Post d. 1755.

Nathaniel Chittenden Jr. probably didn't marry Elizabeth (Stevens) Post.

She was born 1668 at Killingworth, and married Abraham Post in 1692. He died in 1647, nameing her in his will, and her will is dated 14 Aug 1755.

Since Nathaniel Chittenden, Jr. died in 1738, she would not be able to be married to him after the death of Abraham Post, and she could not have married Abraham Post if she married Nathaniel first.

Mr. Michael Rudy, author of The Colonial Post Family of Saybrook and Hebron, Connecticut: Abraham Post (2) and his Descendants (NEHGR 146:113-223), suggests that Alvan Talcott, "Chittenden Family: William Chittenden of Guilford, Conn. and His Descendants," may have erred matching Elizabeth Stevens to Nathaniel as his wife.
