Hi Phil,
I recently became aware of thedispute over the parentage of Eleazer Stoddard Then I found the this discussion and your replies. I placed a response to William Duster .I have since found a little more information and I'd like to have your comments on my findings.
Incidentally, Daniel Stodder's great grand daughter, Lucy Stowell, was married in Hingham to Hosea Stodder my children's 4th great grandfather.Because Lincoln makes no further reference to Daniel it can be assumed he moved away from HIngham.But did he change the spelling of his name to Stoddard and marry Elizabeth Ballard?
There are a few records of a Daniel Stoddard and Elizabeth Ballard.There arethree births in Boston records to these parents - none of which were Eleazer. There is also a record of Elizabeth's burial at Copp's Cemetery Boston.Hertombstone reads….." wife of Daniel Stoddard … burial in 1732 at age 70".But there is nothing to prove that this Daniel Stoddard was John Stodder's grandson.And Ican't find this Daniel Stoddard's parents in any of the online records of births.
I have found birth records of two Eleazer Stoddardsbornin 1694.One set of parents wasEbenezer Stoddard of Bostonand wife Zaruiah Uk. The other was Samson and wife Susanna Clarke. Both of these menare sons of Anthony Stoddard , Samson's mother was Mary Downing and Ebenezer's was Christian Eyre. There are an entries onRootsweb World connect for both of these families that showEleazer married Susannah Hall and they gave birth to the same children shown as the descendants of Daniel Stoddard and Elizabeth Ballard on all those Ancestry trees. These roots web trees are not sourced either so I can't really say that either one of them are true.I haven't been able thus far to find any birth records for these children.But at least we know thattwo Eleazer's may have existed!!
I am becomingconvinced by all of this that Daniel Stodder was notthe father of Eleazer.
Regards,
Jeanne Stodder
