The only records for that time period are church and Cemetery records.
There are a few. >

One WorldConnect file has a child: Horace Worner TWICHELL b: ABT. 5 MAR
1802 in Lake George, Washington County, New York. Googling for "Asoph
Twitchell"I found a genforum message that says the Twitchells and
Mallons moved to Minnesota in 1858. f you Google "irene Briggs"|"briggs
irene" +ma +twitchell you will get more pages that may give you some leads.
Also search for "Asaph TWITCHELL" that is probably the correct spelling
of his given name.
