John Gale and 1st wife. Eunice Bancroft –
Lists children –
Clarissa b. Sept 11 1802
Gardner b. Mar 13 1804
Luthera b. June 2 1806 – ( d. 1890 m. William Holden Memorial 81557663 )
Augusta b. Sept 9 1808
John b. Nov 25 1811
William b. Feb 28 1813 ***** (d. Mar 16 1815, Memorial 92701868)

John Gale and 2nd wife Phebe Bancroft-
Maria b. May 5 1814 (d. May 11 1814, Memorial 92702063)
Lewis b. July 22 1817 (d. 1903 Memorial 75021517)
Eunice Sabrina b. Sept 17 1824 (d, Sep 1862 m. Morrison, Memorial 81557701)

This has been a mess to unravel. Ancestry trees have 2nd wife Phebe as, “Phebe Sibley” who married John Bancroft, that John died in 1833, so Phebe wouldn’t have married in 1813 and had 3 children with John Gale. While pondering I realized and verified that Eunice and Phebe were sisters, as was another sister Clarice / Clarissa, b. July 22 1789 who married Johns brother Abraham Gale on 10 Jan 1808) and that Phebe Sibley was not the Phebe Bancroft that married John Gale.
