Biography
Tabitha Harris was born 9 May 1702 in Lyme, New London County, Connecticut Colony to parents William Harris and Elizabeth (LNAB not known].[1]
She married Jabez Rowley 29 February 1724 in Colchester, New London County.[2]
Their children, born in Colchester, were:[3]
- Tabitha, born 20 October 1724
- Jabez, born 10 January 1726
- William, born 15 October 1727
- Phinehas, born 7 October 1729
- Lois, born 14 November 1731
- Simeon, born 17 June 1733
- Eunice, born April 1735
- Nathan, born 12 February 1737
- Lydia, born 27 June 1739
- Dorothy, born 28 April 1741.
Her death was sometime after 11 April 1782, the date of her husband Jabez "Rowlee" 's will. He died that day or the next; his inventory was done April 1. His will stated they lived in Kent [Litchfield County]; his inventory included a house and land. His will left all his property to his "beloved wife Tabatha", instructing her to give 5 shillings to each of his children, or heirs if deceased, without naming them. One may conclude, then, that Tabitha was living as of that date.[4]
