Maria Bristol - 1800s
Greetings, Bristol Forum ...
According to my usually impeccable Family Record, my ggg grandfather, Ovid Pinney, married MARIA BRISTOL, who on May 24, 1818, gave him a son, William Henry Pinney.However, all my usual searches make no mention of Maria, but rather identify Jane Taylor as his spouse.I'm sure stranger things have happened, but I can't believe there were two Ovid Pinneys, both born in January of 1792, who both lived in Canaan, NY, in the early 1800s.
Also, I have seen the city in eastern NY spelled Caanan, Canaan, New Canaan, New Caanan, and even Cannean.
I'm inclined to believe my Family Record, compiled by my great grandmother.And she should know ... William Henry Pinney was her father-in-law. But ... ???
Can anyone in this forum help me link MARIA BRISTOL with my ggg grandfather, Ovid Pinney?
