On Reverend John Storrs married Eunice Conant Howe, daughter of Shubael Conant and widow of Dr. Samuel Howe.Their child was Richard Salter Storrs b. August 30, 1763.Eunice brought her three children into the marriage, Eleazur Williams Howe, Lucinda Howe, and Samuel Howe.Upon Eunice's death, these children stayed with their stepfather, Rev. John Storrs, who moved back to Mansfield.
John Storrs then married Hannah...
Interestingly, Lucinda Howe (who later married Constant Storrs and moved to New Hampshire) kept a journal from 1776 until her death.While she generally starts out with the subject and text of Sabbeth sermons, she does insert some personal information.Nothing about the on-going war is mentioned, but she does describe the visits she makes to the people of Mansfield and further afield. She was apparently very fond of her step-father, calling him "dear Father" on several occasions.
Hope this helps.
