Bissell Family History

I have a significant question about this chart, mainly because I can’t presently find from whom "Lydia Curtis b. 1747" descends.  This information originally came from a Bisbee family website, I believe.  There is some information on the bottom of Chart 2 -- George Bisbee.  In double-checking this name and ancestry, I am unable to trace out the connection.  I can't find any Lydia Curtis in the Massachusetts death or birth records for the relevant time periods that seems to match up with what was on the website.  So for the time being this whole chart and its sub-charts should be discounted... Likewise, I am not posting the sub-charts for Stephen Chittenden and Elizabeth Woodward.  I am confident the ancestor genealogy for Elisha Curtis and Sarah Chittenden is correct, I just can't find any documentation to support that it was their daughter Lydia who married Jotham Bisbee. Likely that someone named Lydia Curtis married Jotham, I just can't establish reliably who her parents were.    CWP

 

In March 2016, checking NEHGS records online, I found birth record for Elisha Curtis and a marriage record for Elisha Curtis and Sarah Chittenden.

But I could not find a birth record for Lydia Curtis
