M, b. circa 1815, d. 20 June 1843
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | William York was born circa 1815.1 |
| Death* | He died on 20 June 1843 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.2,3 |
| His placement in the family is uncertain, as no birth record of any children of his father William have been found before 1819. However the 1820 and 1830 censuses do indicate the presence of a male of the younger William's age so for now it will be assumed he belongs in this family. |

This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Mary Ann York was born circa 1814 in MaineG. The estimated year is based on her age in 1850 but may well be off. The age of both her mother and brother on the same census were wrong by a year or two.1 |
| She was living with her mother and young brother Andrew in Exeter when the 1850 census was taken. |

Male York
M, b. circa 1817
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Male York was born circa 1817. |
| His place in the family is presumed from the makeup of the family in the 1820 census of Exeter that shows 2 males under the age of 5. The year of 1817 is a guesstimate based again on census records. There is only one male listed in the family in 1830 aged 15-19 which means that this male child had died, or he or his brother William were living elsewhere. |
Male York
M, b. circa 1809, d. November 1815
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Male York was born circa 1809. |
| Death* | He may have died in November 1815. |
| His place in the family is based on the 1810 census which shows 1 male under the age of 10 in the family. He is not accounted for in the 1820 census so likely died before that time. He may have died around 16 Nov 1815 because in 1819 his father was sued for nonpayment of a debt to a local doctor for medical care at their home between 16 Jun 1814 and 16 Nov 1815. This could have been for care for a young son who subsequently died. |

Chelsea vital records say she was born in Chelsea.1 |

| Birth* | Samira D. York was born on 15 August 1804 in New HampshireG.1,2 |
| Death* | She died of cancer on 15 October 1858 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.3 |
| Burial* | She was buried in Exeter Cemetery in Exeter.4 |
| Her place as a daughter of Jonathan and Phebe is a guess based on the fact that in the 1850 census of Exeter she is living with Phebe (Fuller) York in the household of Phebe's daughter Sarah Ann (York) Thurston. The probability is that Samira is a sister of Sarah but is unproven. |
