Bio

Azubah was from Colrain, Massachusetts. She married Valentine Harris, Jr. of Colrain and nearby Heath in November of 1805. They had seven children born between 1801 and 1808, with three born before before the couple was married. Having children out of wedlock was common, but it is also possible that Valentine had a wife before Azubah. Their last two children were twins- a son and daughter, and the daughter died when she was less than one year old. Azubah might have passed away soon after. By 1814, Valentine had remarried.
