1. Clarissa Thayer, born 15 Mar 1795, Leicester, Worcester Co, MA

Notes:

According to the Groton, Middlesex County, vital records, an Elijah Thayer was born there on 4 June 1767, original source attributed to a bible record belonging to Lawrence Park (as of 1926). Many genealogies use this date, but no other evidence has been found to support it.

His gravestone has birth date 12 May 1767. He is presumed to be the son of David and Joanna because he served as guardian to his brother William, whose Calais, Vermont, birth record identifies his parents.¹
