Hosea COOMBS
544
Except where birthdates are known, assignment of Hosea's childrens' mother is arbitrary.
Elizabeth Page may be the sister, not the daughter of Rev. Page.
Otis died unmarried.
Jeremiah died in Chelsea hospital. Unmarried.
Farrow indicates that the gravestones of Hosea (son of Hosea) and Betsey Coombs (Hosea's wife) are close by each other. Elizabeth is, perhaps, his mother. If so, then he was born prior to Betsey's death.

Farrow Gravestones - for Betsey, wife of Hosea - cem. extreme lower end of the island: "died July 16, 1806, aged 38"; note with Hosea (their son): "died July 15, 1804, aged 38 years." Her birthdate is based on the gravestone reading, not the note, although that implies she married Hosea at the age of 14!
