General Notes: Husband - Joel Converse
He signed the oath of a freeman at the first town meeting of Thompson, Connecticut, June, 1771. He resided until after his second marriage in Thompson. He served in the American army for a few months only, during the Revolutionary War, being compelled to remain at home to provide for his widowed mother and his own growing family. He removed with his family to Lyme, New Hampshire, about 1788, erecting in that year a house on a tract of wild land on Davison's Hill, Grafton county, New Hampshire. He was one of the first settlers there and one of the founders of the town of Lyme. The Bixbys, brothers of his wife, were soldiers in the Revolution, and were also among the first settlers of Lyme, New Hampshire.
