    Notes:

    From FindaGrave:

    Bathsheba, the daughter of Jeremiah Hall and Dorothy (Hill) his wife was born August ye 12, 1726. (Wrentham, Mass. Vital Records.)

    About 1746, probably in Upper Ashuelot (Keene, NH), Bathsheba married Ebenezer Day, but their marriage record apparently did not survive the turbulent times on the frontier. (The birth of the first child for whom there is a record occurred on April 18, 1747 when Ebenezer was nearly 31 years old. Bathsheba would not reach her 21st birthday until August.)

    Ebenezer and Bathsheba's granddaughter, Almira Fenno-Gendrot, claimed that Bathsheba was the daughter of Jeremiah Hall. (Almira Torrey Blake Fenno-Gendrot, The Ancestry and Allied Families of Nathan Blake 3rd and Susan (Torrey) Blake, Early Residents of East Corinth, Vermont; Boston, Mass.:Stanhope Press, 1916, Reprint, Heritage Books, Inc., 2000.) Fenno-Gendrot did not cite her source but may have had access to a family Bible record. In any event, as a granddaughter interested in family history, she probably would have known Bathsheba's maiden name.
