Estate was divided into ten shares in settlement. One share was allocated to his creditors and one, of course, to Tabytha. The remaining eight demonstrate that there were then eight living children. These were Lydia, Robert, Ripha, Eliza, Walter, Pardon, Mercy, and Orinda. . . . Tabatha and Robert are not to be found in censuses after 1820.
