4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Eunice Raymond was born on 12 June 1707 in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the daughter of Samuel and Eunice (Norman) Raymond[3].
Eunice Rayment and Robert Sever filed marriage intentions on 19 August 1726[1] and were married on 2 September 1726 in Boston, Massachusetts by Samuel Myles[2].
Robert and Eunice (Rayment) Seaver settled in Framingham, Massachusetts after their marriage, resided also in neighboring Sudbury, and had nine children between 1727 and about 1752, some of whom were recorded in Framingham and some in Sudbury.
In 1748, the Seaver house in Sudbury burned down and the family moved to Westminster, Massachusetts. Robert died there in 1752 and Eunice was administratrix for his estate, which was insolvent. She sold Lot 70 (60 acres) to Luke Brown for 20 pounds and to Ezra Taylor for 54 pounds to pay off the debtors[4].
After Robert's death, Eunice Seaver moved back to Sudbury with her minor children, and lived in Sudbury, perhaps with her son Norman until he married in 1757. Eunice joined the First Parish Church of Sudbury on 14 December 1755[5]. Samuel Sever, son of Eunice Sever, was baptized at the First Parish Church of Sudbury on 28 July 1754 (although the record says "son to widow Thankful"). Eunice Sever is listed as a member of the First Church of Sudbury on 17 November 1772[6].
Her death date and residence at the time of her death are unknown. It is probably either Sudbury or Westminster. Heywood's Westminster book says she died in 1773. There is no probate record located for Eunice (Rayment) Seaver.
There is no burial record for either Robert or Eunice (Rayment) Seaver in Sudbury or Westminster.
