Jemima      " 4 F "

Benjamin's wife's name is very hard to read, but the first letter is definitely "R," not "M," so her name would not appear to be Melissa (see below). "Rissia" is almost certainly a nickname, but for what?

5. Descendants of David Sampson by Scott A. Sampson. Has Benjamin's wife's given name as Melissa.
