Wadhams Genealogy (1913), p. 63: Anna Dunham "m. Asahel Post, who d. 31 Jan., 1839, aged 57." Age 57 agrees with birth 1 Sep 1781.

CONFLICT: death 31 Jan 1839 (Wadhams Genealogy) versus 13 Jan 1839 (this record); left as recorded.

Wadhams Genealogy (1913), p. 63, lists the children of Asahel Post and Anna Dunham as "(1) Samantha Post; (2) Julia Post; (3) Celia Post; (4) Maria Post; (5) Electa Post; (6) Sarilla Post; (7) Henry Post; (8) Hiram Post."

FamilySearch Family Tree, Henry Dunham Post (KTZV-P3W) gives Asahel Post, 1781-1839, of Hebron, Tolland County.

Later search: FamilySearch Family Tree, Asahel Post (KTZV-G5N; sources include the 1830 census, Find a Grave and the Charles R. Hale Collection of Connecticut vital records) gives death 13 Jan 1839 at Hebron, Tolland County, burial in Gilead Cemetery, Hebron, and parents Joseph Post II and Hannah Jones. The death date agrees with this record, so the 31 Jan in Wadhams Genealogy is the outlier. Death place Hebron and burial added. Grade B.

FamilySearch lists the children of Asahel Post and Anna Dunham as: Anna Samantha (about 1808), Julia M. (1809-1891), Welthy L. (1814-1825), Celia H. (1814), Betsey M. (1816-1819), Betsy Mariva (1819-1880), Electa C. (1821-1823), Electa C. (1824-1877), Sarilla L. (1827-1877), Henry Dunham (1832-1903) and Hiram N. (1835).
