From FindaGrave:

In present-day terms, Silas was born at Sharon, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. However, in 1774 when he was born, the town was known as Stoughtonham and was part of Suffolk County in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. Sharon was incorporated in 1783 and the town was part of the land taken from Suffolk County and given to Norfolk County in 1793.

Also worth mentioning is that the Moose Hill Burying Ground (not called Moose Hill Cemetery, except at Find a Grave) is the same as the present-day High Plain Street Cemetery.

Silas was the 4x-great-grandson of William Bullard, who was one of four Bullard brothers (John, Robert, William, and George, sons of William Buller and Grace Bignette) to settle in the area of Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony, and who was among the first men to receive a grant of land at Dedham at its founding. Silas was the son of Ebenezer Bullard and Judith Goodell. Ebenezer was the son of Samuel Bullard Jr and Elizabeth (or Submit) Wright (or Wight). Samuel Jr was the son of Samuel Bullard and Hannah Thorpe. Samuel was the son of Isaac Bullard and Ann Burnap. Isaac was born in England and came to New England with his father in about 1634. He was the son of William Bullard, of Barnham, England, and his first wife, whose name may have been Mary.

According to Rev. Abner Morse, Deborah and her husband, Abel, had five children. Only four of their children are known by name. The other child probably was their first, born circa 1819, though there is no known document that proves the birth order of the unknown child, or even that the child actually existed (except Rev. Morse's account).

From FindaGrave:

Birth month is an estimate, based upon years and months old at death (as reported on death register).

George fathered five children. With his first wife, Martha, he had Martha Ann Hall (1846- ) and George Washington Hall (1848- ). With his second wife, Diadama, he had Charles Hall (1851-1856) and Ellen Hall (1853-1853). With his third wife, Mary, he had Emma F. Hall (1867- ). Emma married Benjamin Sowden and then George W. S. Nichols.

George's third wife was Mary Jane Emmons. Mary was previously married to Albert Perkins Sargent. The marriage record for George and Mary indicates that her maiden name was Emmons. Their daughter's marriage record (to George Nichols) indicates that her mother's maiden name was Stacy. While it is possible that Stacy was Mary's maiden name, this is the only known reference to that surname. It seems most likely that the maiden name provided on Mary's own marriage record is the correct one.
