Notes
a. Note:   [rscrbnr.ged] CHARLES' PARENTS: David was born 20 August 1763 in Dedham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts and died 6 June 1838 in Saxtons River, Windham County, Vermont. He and Jemima (who was born in Dover, Norfolk County, Massachusetts 18 April 1769) were married at Dedham 1 June 1791. Jemima died 2 April 1852 (State of Vermont. General Index to Vital Records. Alphabetized. Microfilm Roll 27543; VITAL RECORDS OF DEDHAM MASSACHUSETTS 1635-1845 [op. cit.], 68, 257). Charles was a dry-goods merchant in Boston. In 1833, he was elected as Representative in the General Court of Massachusetts. He was a member of the Common Council of Cambridge 1846-1848. He died from heart disease, and is buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Boston. In 1811, Prudence, accompanied by her brother, John, rode from Otisfield, Maine, to Cambridge, Massachusetts (140 miles) on horseback. She went there to live with the aunt for whom she was named, Mrs. Richard (Prudence) Boardman, whom Rev. Sinnett refers to as "her father's sister" [Sinnett, THE HISTORY OF THE SCRIBNER FAMILIES [op. cit.],109]. However, it is more likely that Prudence was her mother's sister, since, according to the VITAL RECORDS OF CAMBRIDGE, Vol. 2, Page 44 [op. cit.], Richard Boardman (30 November 1760 - 17 December 1816) married Prudence Dockum 10 April 1794. Prudence always said it was a lucky time for her when she made that trip, because, forever after "her life was cast in pleasant places." It seems that the Boardman family was regarded highly by the Scribners. Several Scribner children have "Boardman" as a part of their names.
