The Rice Genealogical Register has all of Simon and Thankful's children born at Bolton. However, the first two children were born before Bolton was set off as a town, and so their births were naturally recorded at Lancaster.^{2 {p64}}

Children of Thankful HOUGHTON and Simon WHITCOMB:

i: Mary WHITCOMB [QQ15943], born 29 Sep 1734 at Lancaster, MA^{53 {p62},2 {49, 62}}.

She died 23 Nov 1811, aged 66y at Winchendon, MA (under the name McElwain)²⁴¹. Note that the Rice Gen'l Register has confused this Rebecca, the daughter of Simon Whitcomb, with a different Rebecca born the same year to John Whitcomb, also in Bolton. The other Rebecca is the one who married Calvin Greenleaf. This one married James McElwain instead.

She married James MCELWAIN 10 Oct 1769 at Bolton, MA¹²⁰. He was born 4 Nov 1744 at Bolton¹²⁰, died 24 Nov 1820, aged 76y at Winchendon, MA²⁴¹, was buried at Winchendon, in Center Cemetery²⁴¹, son of Andrew MCELWAIN and Hezadiah.

iii: Elizabeth SAWYER [QQ15961], born 5 Jul 1741 at Lancaster^{53 {p69},2 {p50}}. She died 3 Oct 1742 at Lancaster^{53 {p158}}. The identification of this Elizabeth's death record is problematic, since the date is after both the birth and baptism of the next sibling, who was also named Elizabeth. One possibility is that the death date is wrong.
iv: Elizabeth SAWYER [QQ15962], born 24 Jul 1742 at Lancaster^{53 {p69},2 {p50},14 {p32}}. She died 15 Jan 1813, aged 70y (under the name Nichols)⁵⁶. She was buried at Springfield, VT, in Summer Hill Cemetery⁵⁶. The records of her birth, baptism, marriage intention, marriage, and death all call her Eliza or Elizabeth. Your authors have not found any primary records that use the name Relief. The mistaken assertion in the Rice Gen'l Register that she was named Relief is apparently based on a misreading of her gravestone, which describes her as "Elizabeth Relict of Levi".⁵⁶

She married Levi NICHOLS 29 Nov 1759 at Lancaster, MA, both of Lancaster^{53 {p87},2 {p50}}. He was born in 1739^{14 {p32}}. They declared their intention to marry 15 Sep 1759 at Lancaster^{53 {p88}}.

He married Sarah HOUGHTON 4 Feb 1740, but this date is clearly wrong^{2 {p13}}. She was born about 1722 in probably Massachusetts.
