• Notes

  Also called Phineas. His gravestone clearly spells his first name Phinehas. This listing for the daybook of Phinehas Hemenway at the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, appears to conflate the Phineas Hemenway who is recorded in Bolton vital records as baptized 6 Sep 1794, son of Simeon and Mary Heminway, with Phinehas/Phineas Hemenway who died 21 Dec 1850. The latter married a woman named Nabby and they were the parents of Lydia Rice Hemenway. The former could not have been the father of Lydia Rice Hemenway who was born in 1803, nine years after the 1794 birth of Phineas the son of Simeon and Mary. The gravestone of our Phinehas Hemenway gives his age at death as 76, consistent with a birth year of about 1774.
