Possible marriage to Ruth Staples. Date of death also listed as Feb 5, 1789, Rehoboth, Bristol County, MA
E-mail Dated Oct 8, 2001, Louella
Well, I think that Jonathan who married Ruth Staples was Gideon's 1/2 brother. Although most people having this Jonathan die as a child, I haven't seen that record, have you? Jonathan and Ruth Staples were married in the same church as Experience & Dorothy--Gideon's sisters. Also, in the Cheshire County, NH probate records is the record of a Ruth Ormsby daughter of the late Jonathan Ormsby of Taunton, Mass requesting that her cousin Michael Barrus be named her guardian. Michael was the son of Gideon's sister Experience. It sounds to me as though this would be Jonathan Ormsby and Ruth Staples daughter but I don't find any records of her birth etc. only this record in the courthouse in Keene, NH. So it is only speculation, but I don't think Ruth Staples was the 3rd wife of Gideon's father. Could of course be really wrong!
OH, by the way, in the records of the Congregational church
of Rehoboth 1738 records the baptisms of "Rebecca the wife
of Jonathan Ormsby Jr, Oliver, Gideon, Experience, Dorothy ye
children." Someone else read the first child as Olivia but
I looked at the microfilm of the record and it could be either
but lean towards Oliver especially since I find no more records
for an
Olivia but do find records for Oliver Ormsby in Richmond, Cheshire
Co, NH. Of course the fact that Jonathan the child of Jonathan's
first wife is not recorded with the family of Rebecca argues that
Jonathan the child of that union has died by 1738. Ah me.
No one seems to know who Martin Powel Ormsby's parents were
but I think they were Jacob Ormsby and Rachel Powel. Jacob's brother
Jonathan married Rhoda Powel, Rachel's sister and the name Martin
Powel Ormsby comes down in our line, but I can only find one proven
son and one probable of Jonathan and Rhoda..Gideon and another
named Hiram who shows up in a family bible. Hiram moved to Indiana
and died there leaving a widow with 3 small children among them
a son named Martin Ormsby who died in the battle of Shiloh in
the civil
war. the other 2 children of Hiram were girls..Mary Ann and Helen.
Hiram's death is noted in the family bible of the Gideon who I
believe was his brother.
David, a known son of Rachel and Jacob (marriage record in Chittendon county, VT names his parents) also lived in the same area of Illinois as Martin Powel Ormsby which is another reason think that he was Jacob and Rachels son. Unless, we find a family bible or some other proof though I think it will always be conjecture.
I have not really looked for the records of Jonathan Ormsby in Taunton, Mass records. But since your question will try to look for the records there. The problem with Taunton is that you either have to hire research done or go and do it yourself. They will not make copies with letter request.
