Note

Family records show James Eggleston married Lydia Wetmore 12 June 1770 at Middletown. The first child of James and Ruth is Lydia, perhaps in memory of his first wife. Nevertheless, I am not certain this isn't another James Eggleston and the first James and his wife Lydia are somewhere else. I assume I am right because this James Eggleston is clearly from Waterbury and Bethlehem, and there is only one man of that name in those towns. However, because his wife was not named on birth records, these could be the children of Lydia. I only know for certain James and Ruth were married in 1779 because they made deposition for John Porter's Revolutionary War application that he had lived in their house in Waterbury that year.
