Notes for Jonathan Bascom
About the time of his second marriage he moved to Norwich, MA.Some years later he moved to New York, reportedly the western part, and died about 1804.He doesn't appear in Norwich records and it is not clear where he resided in New York.There may well have been additional children beyond the seven shown here.
Notes for Paul (Child 3)
Probably died young.
Notes for Silas (Child 4)
Probably died young.
Notes for Sylvanus (Child 5)
Said to have gone to the West Indies and become wealthy there, where he died without issue.
