BACKUS FAMILY book by Dana Converse Backus
Page 53

John(6) Backus, second son of John(5) and Jerusha (Baker) Backus, (John5, John4, Timothy3, St ephen2, William1, p. 39) was born in 1772, probably at Pine Plains, NY, lived at Groton, Gran ville, and South Livonia, N.Y., and died in 1862. He married 1) about 1793, Betsey Day, wh o bore him six children; and 2) Hannah Fuller, who bore eight children, dying at South Livoni a, 1845; he then married 3) Philena (Stebbins) Richardson, a widow, who bore him one son. Un fortunately the family data are sadly incomplete, so that only two of his children are identi fied:
A. Born of Polly (Day) Backus -
+ 1. Charles(7) b. in 1794 or '96 and died 1862 or 1864 (see p. 67)
B. Born of Philena (Stebbins) (Richardson) Backus-
+2. Clinton Theron(7), b. May 28, 1827, d. Sept. 5, 1897 (see p. 67)
