| Marriage | Intent to marry published in Watertown 20 Oct 1810. This man somewhat old (35) for this to be a first marriage, but he is known to be of Waltham in 1813 at the time his father's estate is settled, and the bride is given as being "of Waltham". |
| Shared note | He was a paper-maker on 12 Oct 1813 in Waltham, Middlesex, MA. Listed as being "of Watertown" in the marriage record in Waltham on 17 Jan 1811, and in the intent published in Watertown on 20 Oct 1810. An Amos Whitney is listed in the Waltham VR's as dying 10 Jun 1824 at age 38. That would mean born in 1786, or 14 year after father's second marriage and with his father at age 51, which is perfectly possible. There is a fairly large gap between the two children of the second marriage in this scenario, but that, too, is not too unusual. Until other evidence appears, this will be used as a death date for this Amos. Provided by: Allan Green [email protected] |
