I think Asa Eggleston and his wife were in Orange Co/Dutchess Co area because they were part of the Beekman Patent.If you have access to those series of books on the Beekman Patent, I think you will find a sketch of them there.In fact I think it was reading that sketch several years ago that got me thinking that there must be two Content Hadsells as I think the sketch mentioning them coming from CT/RI. My Content Hadsell was in Wyoming Valley PA.I have other relatives who were original patent holders of the Beekman Patent.They moved on to other areas.I don't know why they didn't stay.It seems that the Egglestons must have done the same thing.
If you find that your Content Hadsell was the daughter of Joseph, please let me know.Also if you find Joseph's wife and other children I would like to know that as well.
Stonington CT and Westerly RI are just across the river from each other and Voluntown is just 20 miles up the river.Back in the early days there was a great deal of political upheaval in the area with both states laying claim to the towns.
