MARR
EAR claims he was married twice; no name or children for the first wife.

1790 Census has two female (age range not provided in 1790); wife and Sarah or Martha.
1800 Census has two females 16-25. One must be Frances, the other either Sarah or Martha. Unless Frances was under the age of 15 in 1790, this supports EAR’s claim that there was a first wife who died before 1800. This also implies that the oldest daughter & son were NOT the children of Frances, but of the unknown first wife. Further analysis requires a better birth date for Frances and Martha.

DAR
Sources claim Micajah served in the Continental Army; he is NOT listed as a Patriot by the DAR.

CHILD
TGP JR has a daughter, Sarah, married to Rev. Nathaniel Harrison. She is not listed by EAR nor is she mentioned in Micajah’s Will. The 1790 Census has two females of unknown age, presumably a wife and a daughter.
