• Harvey, Elijah, s. Medad and Anna, b July 14 1773
• Samuel, s. Medad and Martha, Feb 12 1777
This seems to indicate that Anna passed and Medad married (2) Martha. There is no record of this Medad’s death in Massachusetts that I can find so he probably moved on with his new wife. In fact, by 1780 Medad and Martha have a child, Henry**, at Sanford’s R
idge, Warren County, NY. Then by 1785 (see below) he owns land in Fort Ann.

"History of Montague: a Puritan Town"

"In 1757, that difficult and delicate task of seating the meetinghouse was entrusted to a committee of nine, divided
into three sets or subcommittees. Each set was to seat the house by themselves in the first instance, and
then compare notes, the committee as a whole to adjust the differences. We may imagine the fancied slights and
heartburnings which the committee's work produced, however wisely they acted; Mrs. Samuel Harvey, perhaps,
complaining because she had been assigned a seat inferior to that given Mrs. Lieut. Clapp, and others making
similar criticisms without end. Too poor to buy a bell, the people voted to hire Lieut. Clapp's "conk" shell to
be blown as a "sygnall on the Sabbath day," and it was afterwards purchased by the town for one pound and ten
shillings. It exists to-day, a treasured relic, in the hands of Deacon Richard Clapp.

Samuel married Bodman, Lydia on 2 Dec 1736 in Sunderland, Franklin, Massachusetts, USA. Lydia (daughter of Bodman, Joseph) was born on 30 Jul 1707 in Hatfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA; died in in Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
