"Oct. 26, -- Fear4 Stanton." (No. 26.)2 PAGE 100. Twenty-seventh line: "XII. DEBORAH HALEY," etc.

Mrs. Henry Stanton, Stonington, Conn., says: "I know

from old people that Elihu Hancox' wife was John Haley's

daughter and that they lived near the Road Church

District.... Elihu Hancox (sometimes called Elisha)

was a son of Edward and Lucy (Chesebrough) Hancox,

m. 1741. The name of Elihu or Elisha gives him away

as to his mother's parentage. My mother often said this

old ditty:

"Joseph Cutler lives at the Mill

Elisha Haley lives on the Hill,

Blind Dewey lives at the Rocks,

Wheedle-te-cut, old Johny Hancocks!"

These people lived below the old Dr. Grey place on an

old Road that led to the village of Stonington.
