| Marriage | about July 1814 | Josiah Mead and Abiah Strickland were married about July 1814 in Saratoga County, New York, Abiah had been married previously, to Eldad Garnsey. On Findagrave, Eldad's death date is given as 12 Apr 1819, and the entry reads "Note: Husband of Abiah Garnsey; Info from C. Durkee's 1878 report. Stone badly weathered, partly buried." I wonder if the year could have been misread, because Abiah is already a widow in guardianship and property documents in the summer of 1814. If the inscription was hard to read in 1878, 1814 could look like 1819. By September of 1814, Abiah had remarried, to Josiah Mead. She had eight children by Eldad Garnsey.2 |

The cow and two year old heifer I will to the use of Amanda Noney (Money?) but leave it to the discretion of the Executors whether they eventually be her property or be divided and they to choose their time for decision. Whenever my Executors may see fit at any time to dispose of my real and personal estate all of which and the title thereto I transfer to them for the benefit of my heirs and I order my deeds to be transferred to said Executors for said benefit. Then I will after all expenses are paid and equal division of the remaining proceeds of my property of which the executors may render an account, be equally divided between all and every of my natural children and share and share alike deducting from each ones portion whatever they may have previously received.
