Sisters of the Connecticut Jones Family gone to New York

Question

Hello All,

I have a pair of sisters who chose to marry a set of brothers from Gilboa, New York.  The brothers have unique given names while the sisters have common ones. I can't seem to find a parentage for the pair of girls and most Gilboa records were destroyed in a flood years back. I would appreciate if someone might recognize where these two ladies could fit.
 

• Cynthia Jones b. 1798 in Conneticut, USA m. c.1820 to Jerijah M. Lawrence (1785-1839) d. 16 Nov 1843 in Jefferson, Schoharie, New York, USA

• Betsey Jones b. 25 Jul 1781 in Connecticut, USA m.18 Jan 1803 to Horace Lawrence (1781-1848) d. 23 FEB 1875 in Gilboa, Schoharie, New York, USA

I have the tentative name for the boys parents (Peter Lawrence and wife Mary) but no clue about the girls life before marriage.
