Abiather/Aliether or Benajah c. 1750
I am looking for information on the parents of Abiather (sometimes recorded as Aliether) Deane/Dean. He was born in or near Raynham about 1750/51. He married Mercy Gibbs (daughter of Capt. John Gibbs and Deborah Dot(e)y (descendant of Edward Doty, Mayflower passenger)). He had various terms of service in the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1780.
Her sister Temperance married Benajah Deane/Dean of Raynham 19 Oct 1782 (Wareham Church records). Possibly Benajah was a brother of Abiather.
Abiather later rem. to Westmoreland, Cheshire, NH where he died 8 Sep 1813 "in his 63rd yr." and is buried in the North Cemetery in Westmoreland, NH.
I am descended through Abiather and Mercy's daughter Sophronia.
