Fifth Generation
BRIGHAM,
72. HEPSIBAH 5 (BRIGHAM) TAPLIN (1732-1815).
was the dau. of LIEUT. NATHAN 4 and HEPSIBAH (not ELIZABETH) (WARD) BRIGHAM, and the wife of COL. JOHN (1726-1803). COL. TAPLIN is said by one of their descendants, DR. C. W. DREW of Minneapolis, to have served only in the French and Indian War in 1766 and 1756, and did not serve i the Revolutionary war, but like many others went to Canada. This is in direct contradiction of the H. B. F. story. Five of his sons served at various times in that war. The record in H. B. F. that HEPSIBAH's children were born in Corinth is incorrect. They resided in or about Marlboro until 1764, when they went to Newbury, Vt., and to Corinth about 1780. Some of the items given below are from "Thirty Dunstable Families," by EZRA STEARNS, with notes from S. HARRISON LOVEWELL of Arlington, Mass.
