♀Seble (surname unknown)

Dates not yet known.

Seble was the wife of Benjamin Royce, one of the first settlers of Hanover, New Hampshire, and the mother of Lydia Royce, born there on 6 June 1767, the second child born in the new town. She was the fifth great-grandmother of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through her daughter Lydia Royce (1767–1851).

She is known only from the New Hampshire record of births, which names her as “Seble”, the mother of Lydia in 1767 and of a second daughter, Naomi, born at Hanover on 20 July 1769. Her surname, her birth and her death are not known. The town’s historian has her husband dying in 1775, though a Benjamin Rice who may be the same man was at Lyme, the next town up the river, in 1781 and 1790. Her daughter Lydia gave the name Sybil to her own first daughter in 1784.

Notes

Online family trees give her a birth at Willington, Connecticut, in 1737 and a death on 3 November 1788. Neither date rests on a record, and the same death date is given in those trees to a Royce woman born in 1750, so it has probably been copied from her.
