(See her second husband Lyman's notes here); *************************************************************************** EVEN MORE CONFUSED: ROCHESTER, MAINE MAY NOT EXIST, BUT JUST BE ACONFUSION FOR ROCHESTER, MASS. (Rochester not listed in fairly complete mainebooks); *************************************************************************** KIDS: her first husband was Elnathan Coombs b. 25 May 1789 Rochester ME,son of Simeon Coombs and Experience Miller; see her husband Lyman for sources.
