Grave Records from Windham Center Cemetery
"In memory of, Mrs. Jemima, wife of Mr. Stephen Ormsby. She died soon after the birth of her first child, Mar. 22, 1784 in ye 25th yr."

Stephen must have been in service in the Revolutionary War for in the DAR Magazine of Dec. 1961, Location of graves of Rev. soldiers from records of Harold B. Trombley, Graves registration officer of the N.H. American Legion State Dept. "Walpole Town, Stephen Ormsby, Conn. service, died Nov. 4, 1821, buried in Village Cemetery."

The following information is from the Historical, Memorial, and Archives Dept. of Iowa, to Mrs. F.E. Ormsby, for DAR membership:

In the History of Walpole, N.H. by George Aldrich, is the following;
"Stephen Ormsby was from Windham, Conn., and came to Walpole, sometime about 1790. He brought his wife, whose maiden name was Phoebe Calkins with him. He was a barber by trade, and had a shop where the Unitarian Meeting House now stands, which was the resort of John Livingston, George Aldrich, and a coterie of others of the same kith. His children:
Jemima
Lucy, b. 1788, d. Feb. 10, 1869
George, b. 1796, m. Martha, daughter of Nathaniel Blanchard of Westmoreland, and had for sons
Harriet, m. Joseph Mason
Mary, b. 1798 m. Samuel Whiting of Concord, Mass.

As you will see, Lucy, the first child born to Phoebe Calkins was b. in 1788. You will be safe to say that Stephen Ormsby and Phoebe Calkins were married in 1787. There was always a child in a year. You should say about 1787.

In the Hooper Genealogy by Charles Pope and Thomas Hooper page 45 is the following;
Elisha Hooper, (Levi, James, John, William) b. at Walpole, N.H., Sept. 21, 1781, m. May 29, 1803 Jemima, daughter of Stephen and Jemima (Snell) Ormsby, b. at Windham, Conn., Feb. 23, 1784, d. at Walpole, N.H., Nov. 9, 1870. He d. Apr. 11, 1851.
This ought to give you all you need, as you have the first wife and the dates for Jemima.
