Wathen, Deborah

Notes:

CHR: Trowbridge par reg (FHL #943583).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Deborah was identified as the wife of Walter Joy in a deposition concerning the estate her cousin, Thomas Wathen of Gloucester, Mass., 17 Sep 1652 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:148-49 [FHL #974.45 P2p]).
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Circumstantial evidence is cited in Donald Lines Jacobus, HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD, 2 vols. (Fairfield, CT, 1930,1932; repr, 2 vols in 3, Baltimore, 1976), 1:347-48 (FHL #974.69/F1 D2j). Thomas French of Guilford acquired a 2nd wife Deborah between 1660 and 1667. Thomas and Deborah had two children born at Guilford in 1667 and 1669. Thomas and Deborah deeded land in Guilford to Joseph Joy, 10 Mar 1678 and 21 Jul 1679 (Guilford Deeds, B:174, 179 [FHL #004331]). The will of Joseph Joy of Fairfield, dated 28 Apr 1690, no probate act, gives to "cousins" Walter Joy, son of "my brother Jacob Joy," Joseph Bennett, Deborah Joy, Mary Joy, and brother Jacob Joy (Fairfield, Conn. District Probate Files, #3493 [FHL #1018760]). The nuncupative will of Abraham Joy, sworn to by Isaac Wheeler, 15 Mar 1687, shows that Abraham gave his estate to his brother Joseph (Ibid, #3491). The estate recs of Isaac Joy show that he had 3 brothers and 1 sister related by father and mother and 2 children related by mother only (Jacobus, FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD, 347). The document is not found in New Haven District probate files; register books include an inv dated 11 May 1675, but there is no mention of siblings (New Haven District Probate, 1:2:59 [FHL #005294]). Jacobus apparently viewed a now-lost estate paper. The conclusion is that Isaac, Abraham, Joseph, and Jacob Joy are brothers, the sons of Walter and Deborah Joy. The 2 children related to Isaac by the mother only are the 2 children of Thomas and Deborah French.

Had George been living it is almost certain that he would have been the plaintiff. Margery was called "widow" on 27 Aug 1644 when the inv of her estate was presented (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:38-39 [FHL #974.45 P2p]).
