  • Notes 
    • John's will mentions by name his wife, two half-brothers (Henry & Peleg) and one half-sister (Sarah) who is deceased; he also lists all of his nieces and nephews.

      I haven't yet figured out how they are half-siblings to him, since they all have the same last name and also seem to have the same mother, based on her will and their dates of birth. Possibly Benjamin died and Elizabeth married another Mr. Tibbetts, and eventually was widowed a second time. I haven't found a record of such a marriage, but many such records are missing, or were never recorded.
