Yes, It was Sturbridge Massachusetts, (sorry) and Mary was born 22 March 1788. Mary first married Samuel Day, they had 6 children. I have tried to transcribe there names from a copy of a family bible, of Mary's and Stephen Smith. Lucinta, b? Diadamia 1802, Ruth 1810, Samuel 1812, Franklin B.,1814 and Maryann 1815. Mary aka "Polly" married second to Stephen Smith in New Sharon, Marine. I have birth records from New Sharon, "Old Records" book B, Page 22. as follows:
Jesse B. Smith, son of Stephen and Polly Smith born August 9, 1823. Frances B. Smith born April 6th 1825. Stephen Franklin Smith born September September 27, 1827.
Stephen Smith died 1866, New Sharon Maine. Mary moved to Boston and lived with her daughter, Frances from her second marriage. Mary died 1870.
The Sturbridges records have a Diadami Nugent, mother Ruth Blunt listed. She was born 24 June 1766. I am thinking this is the Diadami who married Jesse Blunt. What do you think?
Mary named several of her children with Blunt family names. Her first son with Stephen Smith followed the use of family names, as my grandmothers first name on her birth record was Philania Loretta Smith. She went by the name Loretta.
Since receiving the copy of Mary's death record which lists her parents as Jesse and Diadami, I believe I have the right family (Jesse son of John and Rebecca)
Thank you for your help
