Notes:

From Ancestors and Descendants of Andrew Lee and Clarinda Knapp Allen:

"John Waldron's two oldest daus. Sarah and Bridget, ages 9 and 7, were killed by Indians. They were turning out the calves into a pasture near the house, when nine Indians suddenly appeared, seized them and cut off their heads directly before the door, with an axe upon a log, and in sight of their mother in the house, who dared not give any alarm. They carried off the heads with them, but [the heads] were found by their father some weeks afterwards in some bushes, where the Indians had thrown them after taking their scalps; and he buried them with their bodies."

Mehitable Waldron was John and Mary Waldron's child immediately following Sarah and Bridget.

Mary married John Waldron on 29 Aug 1698. John (son of John Waldron) was born about 1675; died between 12 May 1740 and 30 Jul 1740 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mehitable married James Chesley about 1727. James (son of James Chesley and Tamsen Wentworth) was born on 10 May 1706 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire; died on 10 Oct 1777 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Wentworth Genealogy, English and American shows Hannah Chesley as a daughter of James Chesley and Mehitable Waldron, and says that she "married (his first wife) Rev. Avery Hall, pastor of the church in Rochester, N. H., from 15 October 1766 to 10 April 1775; and had two children", but it gives her no birth, death, or marriage dates.

Heard-Hurd Genealogy calls her "Mary Chesley", but concurs with other sources in calling her husband Avery Hall and her daughter Mehitable Hall.

Hannah married Rev. Avery Hall about 1766. Avery (son of Rev. Theophilus Hall and Hannah Avery) was born on 2 Dec 1737 in Meriden, New Haven, Connecticut; was christened on 4 Dec 1737 in First Congregational Society, Meriden, New Haven, Connecticut; died on 5 Aug 1820 in Wakefield, Carroll, New Hampshire.
