  • Notes 
    • Could this Lydia be the one who was the mother of Jeremiah Manchester b 20 Dec 1810 in Tiverton; father's name given as Abner Wilcox? Or, is it the other Lydia, b 1791? Their families were both from Little Compton.

      I am not sure, but I am tentatively linking this Lydia to Abner as his partner. This needs more research to confirm. See notes for Abner; his wife had left him around 1805.
