Notes

John Davenport’s congregation and small single land owner, he consented to the covenant there but not as an original planter. He married the widow of Andrew Hull and ultimately moved on to New London. *Source: Internet

Stephen DODD
Stephen Dodd was born April 28, 1784, at Mendham, New Jersey, to Parmenas and Patience Wright Dodd. He married Phebe Babbitt on November 1, 1809. He moved from the family home area in New Jersey to Knox County, Ohio. A farmer, regional physician and minister, he preached at the Presbyterian Church, road horseback with his medicine, and was Justice of the Peace in 1823. In 1824, when Jesse was born, Stephen and Phebe had eleven children, including five-year-old triplets. In 1836, Sarah, one of the triplets, was the first death in the family. By 1837, there were 14 living children and the 15th was on its way. In this year, Stephen moved his family to Carroll County, Illinois, settling at Milledgeville. Ten years later, in 1847, tragedy truly struck, taking the lives of Phebe (died Oct. 3, 1847 at age 56) and daughter Jemima, then 18. Stephen remarried on Dec. 14, 1847; his second wife was Philenia Munson Noble. Philenia had two sons by her marriage to the deceased Dr. Noble and added two daughters to Stephen’s family. He lived the rest of his life in Milledgeville, Carroll County, Illinois, where he died August 28, 1868, at age 81; he is buried just south of Milledgeville in Bethel cemetery on South Otter Creek Drive (Lot 8) with Phebe, Jemima and other members of his family. One stone marks the resting places of Stephen, Meima, Phebe, and son Stephen. An identical stone nearby marks the graves of daughter Phebe and her husband David Smith and their daughter Angeline Smith.

Patience WRIGHT
The wife of Parmenas Dodd of Mendham, New Jersey, Patience was probably the daughter of Benjamin Wright of Burlington, New Jersey, who in turn was the son of Caleb and Hope Wright who were in Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey, when Benjamin was born. Benjamin’s children included Patience, Penelope, Benjamin and perhaps others. It also seems likely, because of the dates and the name similarity, that this family is related to Benjamin Wright who came to Guilford, Connecticut, by 1645 and was a tanner and miller. He took his family to Killingworth in 1659 where he was one of its first settlers and where he owned much land. He died March 29, 1677. His children were Jane (m. Joseph Hand), Benjamin, James, Elizabeth, Ann, Jonathan and John.
