Dear William (Bill) Aspin,
I am also researching materials for John T. Essex. We are descendants of his son John T. Essex, Jr. (bros. of Ransom P.); grandson George E. Essex, of Bay City, MI; grt. grandson Henry A. Essex of Hampton Twp., MI. Have you had any further luck thus far? I was curious as to where you were able to confirm the day and month of his birth, for they correspond with the date of his death 25 Feb. 1877? And where were you able to confirm his marriage date of 1817? I have been to the National Archives in NYC and there is mention of a John Essex on the 1820 (Enumeration Date: 7 Aug. 1820) U. S. Census (Fourth Census) in Mansfield, Windham, Connecticut, but no insight as to his parents, etc.
