Evidence is stronger that Deborah Allen married Stephen Scribner Jr
born ca 1740-1743 of Norwalk, Fairfield, CT
(i.e. his father Stephen Scribner Sr born ca 1712 did NOT marry Deborah)
See my own descendancy posted at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=scribnerct&id=I1969http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=scribnerct&id=I1969

And see http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ezrascribner&id=I435http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ezrascribner&id=I435 where it says
"Rank of Private(2nd Regiment - 5th Company) French & Indian Wars 1762 "
The American Genealogical Biographical Index about Stephen Scribner
says born 1740 birthplace CT Volume 155 page 165 Rolls of CT men in Rev War. SO I, FORSYTHE, WILL SWITCH TO THIS 1740 BIRTHDATE NOW.
Actual marriage records for Greens Farms CT, now Westport,Fairfield,CT --
