Am I reading correctly that the dates of birth and death haven't been found for Ann and Daniel's children?
Thank you
Joyce

For many years, yes literally many years all children were assumed to be
by Experience, 1st wife of Daniel, then later again all were assumed to
be Anne's.

Until that is, somebody else found the marriage dates for all wives,
including surname for Experience which for many years had been unknown
within last 2 years.

That enabled me to sort out the children.

Experience had Bethel, Experience and Reuben
Dorcas had no children (may be at least 1 stillborn)
Anne had Moses, Daniel Jr, then 10 years gap, Thomas (infant), Thomas,
Abraham, Lois and Experience.

Bethel married Mary Hurd 2 Nov 1779, probably in Vermont
(not known if they had children)

Daniel Jr. (my line), died in Tinmouth. His son, Ziba with his large
family moved to Castile, New York where he founded the town of Castile.

Reuben died in Sandgate.

Experience the younger one was married to Gilbert Wilson and moved to
Hamilton, Butler co., Ohio

These 3 children are known to have descendants. The rest are unknown.

Foremost of all, not one source can say they were born in Roxbury, CT,
or Woodbury, Ct or even Rutland, VT.

From what I see, it is safe to assume Daniel moved his family to Vermont
either right before the Revolutionary War or right after that. Likewise,
the first 2 wives died in Litchfield county, Connecticut for sure.

As for the Hawleys,

Anne Hurd born 13 Oct 1737, dau of Henry Castle and Hannah Strong, died
3 Nov 1737, in Woodbury, CT
Henry and Hannah had another daughter born 30 Apr 1739, died 30 Jul 1837
married Benajah Hawley 7 Jul 1757, Woodbury

The Castles and Hawleys probably moved with Hurds from Woodbury to Vermont.
