Biography

Becky (Nally) Syphers notes: "One written source gives her father as John and her birth place as Lebanon, CT.^[1] I was not able to verify this using the Barbour Index at the CT State Library."

Research Notes

There was a John Johnson who was a resident of Lebanon. He had a daughter Lucy born about 1747. John Johnson is such a common name that there are problems trying to connect this Lucy with the Lucy who married Solomon Abby

There was a second Lucy Johnson born about 1750, daughter of David Johnson. She was baptized at the Congregational Church of Colchester, Connecticut.^[2]

I also looked at the microfilm land records for both towns and the card file of probate cases at the Connecticut State Library.
