• Notes

  2011-July Death record for son John lists his birthplace as Brompton, PQ. Should look there for more info. 2011-Mar Found marriage record for an Abigail Matthews - signed by Zenas. I believe this is his daughter. ⁃ Found marriage records for two sons of Abigail: one named Charles one named John. ⁃ Note that the index for marriages in NH state archives lists Charles as "Charles Zenas" but there is no Zenas on any of the records at that library. ⁃ Need to check original records to see if there is any more detail
