[Elisha's mother was Lieut. Nathaniel Blackman's first wife, Sarah Davis, who died, no doubt at Ripton, 6 May 1768. She does not yet have a FindAGrave memorial as her grave is unmarked but I suspect she's buried somewhere in Huntington, quite possibly at the St. Paul's/Old Cemetery. Sarah and Nathaniel had children Elisha (1760-1787), Mercy (Blackman) Beard (1763-1829, buried at another cemetery in Huntington, maybe Long Hill), first wife of Joel; Asa (1765-1813); and Gideon (b. 1767).
After Sarah's death, Nathaniel married Huldah Welles, probably at the Ripton Congregational Church, 24 Oct. 1770. This material comes from a record in the old Boston Transcript copied many years before. It was owned by Lemuel Blackman of Jericho, Vermont, a son of Nathaniel and Huldah. In the mid-19th century a Catholic servant in his household borrowed the old Bible because she liked the pictures, but her priest on a pastoral visit saw it and threw it into the fire on the spot.
