Research Notes:
The list of children in the church records also names Elizabeth, born March 19, 1777, a narrow window of time between the births of Mary and John. Note that daughter Elizabeth was not named in the 1780 certificate, but ward Elizabeth Henry was named in the 1782 certificate. We suspect that Elizabeth was adopted.
