General Notes
n1: Mary Harvey married Thomas Moody in Danbury on 24 Jul 1712. They had one son, John, before Thomas died the following year. John was buried in 1728.
n2: The burial of Lydia states the deceased was "an infant". Lydia dau of William Felton and Mary Moody was at least 6 years old at the time. However there is no other Lydia baptised and there were no other married Feltons at the time. William's son William married Jane Harris on 15 Mar, 1723, however since the new year started on 25 March this marriage took place five months after Lydia's burial and so could not have been their child.
