m1. Redding 7 Sep 1763 George Gage
Birth: 1748 Death: Mar. 2, 1819 [Edit Dates]
Second wife of Timothy Munson, whose first wife was Sarah Bishop. This Sarah's maiden name was long unknown to us; a clue to her identity is in Timothy's will, which mentions his stepdaughter Elizabeth Smith of Pittsford VT, ca 1824. Thanks to Dee (#48759797) the mystery has been solved.
"Sarah is Sarah Adams, daughter of Daniel (bap. 29 Jun 1707) (Families of Old Fairfield, CT, 2:7); and Joanna Lane born say 1714 [ibid], died before 1755 [ibid]. Daniel was son of Daniel and Rebecca (Cable) Adams, son of Samuel and Mary Rose (Meeker) Adams, son of Edward and Mary (Pachen) Adams.
Sarah Adams was born about 1747, first married George Gage on 7 September 1763, in Redding, Ct (ibid 2:7)."
George Gage died in Pittstown NY on May 4, 1806, the same year that Sarah Bishop Munson died. Pittstown and Pownal are only a few miles apart. The marriage record for Timothy Munson and Sarah Adams Gage has not been found; the likely places it could have occurred are Pittstown NY, Bennington VT and Pownal VT.
