Lydia Webster I

(Great Great Great Great Great Grandmother of David hall)

 

 

 

 

 

Lydia Webster was married to William Webster.  Their children were:

Nathaniel Webster 7 Jan 1764, Joseph Webster (12 Jul 1766).  William Webster (4 Jan 1768), Stephen Webster (27 Nov 1769), Lydia Webster (2 Feb 1772), Mary Webster (24 Mar 1774) Timothy Webster (3 Aug 1778), and John Webster (15 Feb 1780). In 16 years they had 8 children.

 

Note: William and Lydia Webster named a son a daughter after themselves.  Their son married a Lydia (Wilson); this couple also named a son a daughter after themselves. 

 

I am puzzled as to why they waited to use the name William until their third son.  My guess is that their first two sons, Nathaniel and Joseph, may be named after Lydia’s father or either of their grandfathers.
