    See Seaver's correction on his page 243 that correctly places Catherine here. Bowman says her children Elijah and Ezekiel are the same, but the Edward Messenger genealogy lists them separately.
    
    The newlyweds purchased various parcels of land near Raven Swamp, just south of the "south branch" (now know as the West Branch) of Salmon Brook. In 1712 John Sager granted "a certain parcel of land being scituate within the Townshipe of Simsbury at a place commonly called Samon Brooke lying on the Northeasterly side the said brooke in the Lower meadow being part." Again in 1720 Joseph was granted, by the town of Simsbury, land south of the south branch of Salmon Brook and "east of Raven Swamp."
