SCRIVEN, MOSHER. I would like to contact anyone related to William SCRIVEN and Mary MOSHER. William was born 6 Jun 1727 in Westerly, Washington Co., RI. He first married a Mercy LEWIS and had 10 children. Then he married Elipha ____ and had 1 child. Then he married Mary MOSHER and had 4 more. We cannot find the last marriage in RI, so we think it may have been in Rensselaer Co. as that is where they lived after RI. Someone has indicated the possibility Mary's parents were Hugh MOSHER and Mary SABIN. We would like information on Mary's birth, parents, marriage to William, and death. William is said to have died in January of 1827 at the age of 99 years and 7 months in or around Petersburg, Rensselaer County. Mary and the youngest daughter, Polly, supposedly died in a house fire around Grafton around 1810-1820. The family story is all their family records, Bible, etc., also were destroyed in the fire. Many of the 10 children of the 1st marriage also were in this county, so anyone connected to any of them, please contact me. Those 10 were Alice (m. Caleb Bassett), James (m. Marvel Davis, then Comfort Davis), John (m. Elsie Crandall), Joshua (m. Mercy Chapman), Hannah (m. Theophillis Larabee), William (m. Mary Saunders), Zebulon (m. Polly WEST), Mercy (m. Silas Jones), Thomas (m. Remember Crandall), and Joseph (m. Nancy Lewis). The 4 from my line were Matthias who married Anna SABIN, Benjamin who married Temperance SABIN, Sally who married Asa Larabee, and Polly. My line is through Matthias and Anna, and various theories of Anna's parents are: 1) John SABIN and Temperance; 2) Elijah SABIN; and 3) Stephen SABIN and Mary Ann MOSHER. Anna was said to have been born 10 Apr 1780 or 9 Nov 1778. The family eventually left Rensselaer Co. and Matthias and Anna then lived in Bradford Co., PA. Ed Scriven scriv@uswest.net 1198
