  • Notes 
    • Please note that I am not positive that Jabez belongs in this family, but time and location in both marriage and census records strongly suggest it. It doesn't seem that he would have been a son of any of Daniel's brothers, although I suppose he could be a son of Samuel if Jabez was born c1755, or son of Stephen. I have searched for confirming data but none seems to be available. I wonder why he did not name a son Daniel, or Stephen or Samuel for that matter. He did name a son Ebenezer, the name of one of Daniel's sons and possibly his closest brother, However, he also named a son Rufus, the name of one of Samuel's sons. So this is inconclusive.

      Compiler Katie Mills thinks that Jabez likely served in the Revolution, although no records have confirmed that.

      "The Anabaptists could find no justification for elaborate church bureaucracies. Decisions should be made not by a hierarchical leader but by the entire local assembly. In fact, the Anabaptists were the first to try to practice democracy in the congregation . . . Another central teaching was the separation of church and state. The church, they said, is to be composed of free,
