Research

Apparently NEHGS, familysearch, ancestry.com have different ideas regarding spouse and children, with not enough facts to back anything up. Both Whittemore and Trask genealogies stop short of going any further.

There was an Asa and Hannah having children in Charlton from 1804 to 1809, which fits time and place, and matches the first few children in the familysearch profile. ^[1]
