Bill: Thank you for the quick response. Thanks also to those who responded to your request. 'My' Lydia did, indeed, marry Charles Hacket, but the marriage date, according to the Town Record of Conway, was 11 Mar 1783. According to my records, uncorroborated, Lydia's date of birth was 8 March 1754, in Derryfield, NH (now Manchester). I can find no record of her except the record of her marriages in the Town Record of Conway (and there's no guarantee that it's the same Lydia - there seems to have been multiple Lydia Ordways around, and it would seem to me that, for the second marriage, she would have been named as Lydia Hacket, but she's not.) According to my family's 'oral tradition', Lydia died in Fryeburg, ME in 1850, but I can find no record of her. Someone once wrote to me and said that she died in Canada, but had no proof. Lydia and William supposedly had four daughters and one son, but I only have found evidence for two daughters and the son. She and William are my biggest problem. Thanks again for your help.
