Again to the Syracuse Public Library. I searched the periodicals for information. Here is what I found.

In "Families of Ancient New Haven " LC76 N45 Bj from the locked case, page 626 gives the wife of Edward Frisbie as Hannah [? Culpepper] and his son Jonathan's wife was Mary the daughter of William Hoadley.
