Note | There is no marriage record because vital records weren't well kept at that time in Woodbury. However, we know they married about 1799 from the following and from Mary's death record. “Mary Bird’s lease from Jonathan Churchill, 1799: Know all men by these presents that I Jonathan Churchill of Woodbury in the county of Litchfield and state of Connecticut for the consideration of the love and sincere affection I have for Mary Bird of the town of Bethlem in the county and state aforesaid whom I expect to marry and being desirous if she should live beyond my appointed time of life that she may have some comfortable expectation of support in her old age..." Marriage record has not been found. (Woodbury Land Records, Vol 29, FHL film 6162, item 2, p. 210.) |
