Notes:
                   Note: Peter Holden Greenman, in the Greenman Genealogy, pp. 8,15, says that Jeremiah was a widower by age 20, which would have been in 1720 if he was born in 1700 as Greenman says.  He further states that Abigail Dodge, Jeremiah's first wife, died "age 29."  It seems doubtful that all these statements could be true.  Jeremiah was still living 11 Dec 1758, when he witnessed a deed of Charles Patterson to Robert Walker (Stratford Deeds 11:449)

Notes:
                   Of Amey, Robert Patterson Dubois wrote (c 1860): Our grandmother Amey (Dubois) was, in her old age, very large and fleshy, and had a blemish in one eye. She and her husband were both active members of the church of which he was for some time the treasurer.  They were strict with their children.  During the Revolutionary War, when a fast was proclaimed, they never suffered the children to take a mouthful of food, but kept them in the house reading and praying so that the children were glad to steal out and eat the sorrel (sour evergreen leaves) that grew along the fence.  If a thunderstorm came up at night, grandmother would rouse them all from their beds and make them sit around a table while she read to them from the Bible."
