Jerusha Royce

b. after May 27, 1762

Father: Robert Royce¹ b. November 16, 1729, d. 1794
Mother: Jerusha Parker¹ b. November 1, 1741

Relationship: 1st cousin 6 times removed of Steven George Levine

Jerusha Royce was probably born after May 27, 1762. There is much confusion over the identity and birth year of Jerusha Royce. Some sources give her birth year as 1756. Given that "Jerusha" was the name of Robert's second wife, and they didn't marry until 1762, this seems unlikely. Other sources say she was born about 1776, which would make a 1781 marriage impossible. I am unable to access the original source for any of this information.
She was the daughter of Robert Royce and Jerusha Parker.¹
Jerusha married Elisha Street on June 26, 1781 in the Congregational Society, Cheshire, Connecticut.²
Jerusha married Joel Ives on October 29, 1804 in Cheshire, Connecticut.²
