Family of Elisha THAYER and Susannah VEAZIE

Elisha THAYER b. 1779 Jul 11⁸⁵⁹ at Braintree, MA⁸⁵⁹. d. 1857 Jan 27⁹⁴⁴ at Quincy, MA⁹⁴⁴.
Susannah VEAZIE b. 1781 Jun 5²⁸⁵² at Braintree, MA²⁸⁵². d. 1857 May 16⁸⁵⁵ at Braintree, MA⁸⁵⁵.

Married⁸⁵⁹ 1804 Mar 1⁸⁵⁹ at Braintree, MA⁸⁵⁹. Sprague⁸⁵⁹ has "Thayer Elisha 2d & Susanna Viezee Mar. 1 1804 [int. Veazie]" for this marriage. The suffix "2d" is of note, as it appears that Thayer⁴⁸²² assumes that refers not to Elisha's father, but that Elisha is the second of that name born to Zachariah Thayer. Thayer⁴⁸²² has a son of Zachariah Thayer and Mary Arnold who was born Dec 8, 1776, and died young.

Sprague⁸⁴¹, stating that the children of Zachariah Thayer and Mary Arnold are "not on record," references Thayer⁴⁸²² for the parentage of Elisha Thayer.

It should be noted that Thayer appears to have several errors for this lineage. Although some information is corroborated by other records, other information which can, today, be easily checked against birth, death, marriage and census records; Thayer's information for Elisha and his descendants, which may not have been available at the time of that 1874 publication, is found to be inconsistent, or simply in error. Nevertheless, Thayer should've more clearly indicated doubt or assumption for some of the data.

Sprague⁸⁴¹ and Thayer⁴⁸²² both have Elisha's death date as Jan 27, 1857. Sprague refers to Elm St Cem gravestone information, stating "died Jan 27, 1857 a. 77yrs. 6mo, GS, Elm St. Cem. (not in Mass V.R.)." Sprague's Quincy, Mass., VR (death) entry⁹⁴⁴ has simply “Jan. 27 [1857] Elisha Thayer 78”

Thayer⁴⁸²² has Erastus Thayer, born 1815; and Danforth Thayer, born 1819, as sons of Elisha and Susan Thayer. Records indicate that both Erastus and Danforth were born in Randolph, MA, and likely the sons of Elisha Thayer (1786 - 1835) and Anna Reed, not Elisha Thayer (1779 - 1857) and Susan Veazie.

Susanna Thayer died⁸⁵⁵ May 16, 1857, in Braintree, MA, of consumption. Quincy VR⁹⁴⁴, a transcription, has May 15. Handwritten record⁸⁵⁵ is preferred.

Child 3. Clarissa

In 1850⁸⁶⁸ and 1855⁴⁹⁹⁵, Clarissa B resided with her parents. In 1860, and probably until the time of her death, she resided⁸⁶⁹ with her sister Susan Denton in the household of Susan's husband, Daniel H Denton in Braintree. Sprague⁸⁴¹ has Clarissa died single.
