Wilmarth

Post by Allen »

Has anyone looked into the family tree of Bebe Wilmarth, Abraham Borden's second wife? If there is information in another thread I'd appreciate if someone could let me know where to find it. I know from Rebello her parents were Betsy and Learned Wilmarth, and that she left bequests in her will to her brothers Ferdinand and Ephraim. Beyond that I have only come up with bits and pieces I'm not sure fit. Can anyone tell me if these are the relatives of Bebe? If something is hard for me to make out I will add (?) to notate it.

If the Daniel Wilmarth of Attleboro I found is any relation, there appears to be some sort of Claflin connection. Claflin is the maiden name of Dr. Bowen's mother Leapha, who was also born in Attleboro. In the family tree I have for Leapha provided by the public library of Attleboro from their "Genealogy of the Claflin Family".

Also in the 1870 census the household of Rhoda Morse is listed on the same page, and directly beneath the Daniel Wilmarth family.

I don't think the link will work because it's Ancestry.com, but just google
"wilmarth genealogy+danforth". It's the first topic on the 2 page.


Check out my last post on the Phoebe Davenport topic, too.
