  • Notes  Married:
    • Lucretia was married to a HALL who died. There was no issue of the marriage and his widow, Lucretia Hall married the Rev. J.H. Gittens,Rector of St, John, by whom she had issue.

      The East window of St. John's Church was erected to her memory after her death on 14 Jan 1859 at age 67.

      Apparently the exact date of her marriage is recorded in BMHS Journal XXV Vol 1 P 27; unfortunately I am missing this copy.
