WITTER, Joseph 2
First married to Elizabeth Gore, who was the mother of their son, Ebenezer II. She died in 1761, and a year later Joseph remarried to Amie Wilcox, the widow of Daniel Meech. Joseph's son, Ebenezer II, then married Amy Meech, the daughter of Amie Wilcox and Daniel Meech! In 1807, Joseph's brother William's granddaughter, Rebecca Dunwell, married Joseph's greatgrandson, Erastus W. Crary, so both brothers appear in my direct family lineage!
Joseph married Elizabeth GORE, daughter of Captain Samuel GORE and Hannah DRAPER, on 13 Aug 1722 in Preston, New London County, Connecticut. (Elizabeth GORE was born on 12 Jan 1704 in Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts 5 and died on 9 Apr 1761 in Preston, New London County, Connecticut.)
Joseph next married Amie WILCOX, daughter of Edward WILCOX and Thomasine STEPHENS, on 9 Apr 1762 in Preston, New London County, Connecticut.1 (Amie WILCOX was born on 18 Oct 1709 in Stonington, New London County, Connecticut and died on 28 Jan 1782 in prob. New London County, Connecticut.) |
