Anna Curtiss was the last of her mother's 4 children. Her mother, Abigail Judson Curtiss died the same year, though I don't have the exact date. Someone had entered a Nov. date into Ancestry, but there's no source given. All the records just say 1697 as the year she died.
So Anna's father Josiah Curtiss married again, in 1698 and had 8 or 9 more children.
Anna grew up and married Zachariah Booth June 12, 1718. Their marriage has at least 2 primary records to substantiate it.
They had three sons, Nathan Booth (1719-1800), Zachariah Booth Jr (1721-1775), and Daniel Booth (Boothe) (Captain) 1723-1801).
Anna lived until May 18, 1733 and has a tombstone in the Old Congregational Burying Ground in Stratford, Fairfield County, CT...
Interesting that some of the eager people in Ancestry.com have given Zachariah the second wedding date of Jan 1, 1733...while his first wife was still alive. Oops!
However, Zachariah may have been eager to have more children, since Anna had 10 years between her last childbirth and her death. I'm wondering what kind of illness she may have been dealing with, because the norm was to have as many children as they could.
Zachariah and Sarah then had 6 more children.
My ancestor was Anna's second child, Zachariah Booth Jr. my six times great grandfather.
I just added a new blog to my list of those I'm following, but the link doesn't attribute her to the recent post which I just read...it says she last posted a year ago. So I'm adding the post that I enjoyed reading about Hartford, CT. Unfortunately links aren't served in comments...so here it is.
