From Prentice-930:

Samuel (Family Search ID is L29Z-7C6) is a common ancestor for us. His birth is shown as 1678/9 because back then the new year didn't begin Jan. 1. Any day before March 21 was written with both years. In our system, he was born Feb. 1679. His daughter Esther Bishop (FS L8SX-XD2, findagrave 119164281) is my ancestor. She m. first James Tyler (FS KT3G-MZ4) who died 1736, then married my ancestor Capt. Jonathan Rudd (FS L8SX-XC8, findagrave 119164280). They had a daughter Esther (my next ancestor) but there is a little confusion. Familysearch shows two Esther Rudds in Windham CT with birth and death about 3 years apart. I think they are the same. Correct FS ID is probably L8SX-X2X. I went to Windham but could not definitely confirm.
