In 1684-85 and 1692 deeded land to son and grandson. In 1687-1692 and 1699 made wills, revoking all except the last one, which was proved the same year and which mentions wife and living children.[9]

If Lucinda is daughter of Jonathan, acc to Abbie Shelton, then must be the one born in 1790 as the other would only be 12 at most. Perhaps one was "Cynthia" and the other "Lucinda".
