| Notes |
- CHR: Yardley par reg (FHL #1520013).
MAR: No mar rec found. A wife Elizabeth is mentioned in his will, below. That she is the dau of Jehu Burr and widow of Nehemiah Olmstead is apparent from the following recs: (1) The will of Obadiah Gilbert, below, gives to "daughter" Sarah Olmstead. (2) Agreement between widow Elizabeth Seeley and overseers of Obadiah Gilbert's estate, 14 Mar 1675: "Capt. Nath: Sely deceased in his life time married with Elizabeth the widow of Obadiah Gilbert and brought what estate was in her hands to her husband" (Fairfield Probate, 3:7 [FHL #004287]). (3) Agreement between Robert Seeley and Elizabeth Seeley, administrator of the estate of Nehemiah Olmstead, 15 Mar 1675. Robert Seeley claimed right to Obadiah Gilbert's estate by right of his wife Sarah, dau of Nehemiah Olmstead, deceased (Fairfield Deeds, 1:242 [FHL #004273]). (4) Record of the lands of Nehemiah Olmstead, deceased, 27 Jan 1671, includes parcels purchased of his "brother-in-law" Jehu Burr (Fairfield Deeds, 1:243 [FHL #004273]). Hence, Elizabeth Burr married (1) Nehemiah Olmstead, (2) Obadiah Gilbert,who made his stepdaughter Sarah Olmstead a legatee in his will, (3) Nathaniel Seeley, whose wife was clearly the widow Obadiah Gilbert and the adminsistrator of the estate of Nehemiah Olmstead.
DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of Obadiah Gilbert of Fairfield, 23 Aug 1674, proved 9 Mar 1674/5, inv 16 Sep 1674, Fairfield District Probate, 2:82 (FHL #004287).
