Notes
General:
aThis marriage is given by John Mark Moses and NHVR. JMM gives her father as Elijah. According to the Pettingill Genealogy, Joanna is daughter of Jethro (brother to Elijah) and that she married a Marstin and had a daughter living in Epsom, NH as late as 1897. There is a female Marstin in Epsom, NH census in the household 1870, age 16, at school. (the name is hard to read, but would appear to be Lucy - and the age would work out). In fact, Joanna's daughter Mary Jane married a Marston and had the daughter Lucy.

Elijah Pettingill was married in 1796, and if Joanna's date of birth is correct, it preceeds this marriage and would more likely make her father Jethro.

From the Analectra January 24, 1884
Mrs. Joanna Buzzell died the 10th, inst., aged 92. She had been a widow over 40 years.
Marriage Notes (Daniel Buzzell)
Marriage date given from copy of 1812 Pension records of Joanna, copied from family bible and certified, is Aug. 24, 1822, different from Epsom, NH records - reported as married by Nathaniel Knowlton of Pittsfield, whose records 1814-1824 had been lost.

Birth seen in various records as Epsom and Northwood.

He appeared in the census on 9 September 1850 in Northwood, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Age 62, farmer, born New Hampshire. He was living in the household of Samuel and Martha James and it is unknown if he was related to them in any way. It should be noted that this might not be the husband of Mercy PHILBRICK Pettingill since they were living apart. However, it's possible that they were only separated for economic reasons. Name on census: John Pettengill.
