David Taylor Carver was married to Sharley Tarbox daughter of Asenath Tarbox\\\'s brother, Godfrey Tarbox. Asenath Tarbox was Aldric Carver\\\'s wife.

Hebron was in Hartford County prior to 1785 so David was born in Hebron, Hartford Co. but died in Hebron, Tolland Co.

Hebron was incorporated May 26, 1708 but Tolland County was not formed until 1786 when it was formed from the original counties of Hartford (1666) and New London (1666).

As established in 1666, Hartford County consisted of the towns of Windsor, Wethersfield, Hartford, Farmington, and Middletown. The \"Thirty Miles Island\" referred to in the constituting Act was incorporated as the town of Haddam in 1668.

In 1670, the town of Simsbury was established, extending Hartford County to the Massachusetts border.

David married Sharley Tarbox. Sharley (daughter of Godfrey Tarbox and Rachel Wright) was born on 8 Nov 1786 in Hebron, Tolland Co, Connecticut; died on 11 Aug 1867 in Hebron, Tolland Co, Connecticut; was buried in St Peter's Cemetery, Hebron, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Sharley Tarbox was born on 8 Nov 1786 in Hebron, Tolland Co, Connecticut (daughter of Godfrey Tarbox and Rachel Wright); died on 11 Aug 1867 in Hebron, Tolland Co, Connecticut; was buried in St Peter's Cemetery, Hebron, Connecticut.

Notes:

While the name "Sharley" has been mentioned as a nickname (possibly for Charlotte) most documents indicate her first name as "Sharley", a name that is, in fact, inscribed upon her gravestone.

(Research):Hubert Arnold thought her (nick)name was "Sharley" and on his Carver family group sheet he writes "Sharley or Charlotte". Nelson Sears notes her as "Shirley" although upon close inspection, the name "Sharley" was written in light ink in about 1895 and overwritten in darker ink with "Shirley" in the Winter of 1898-99.
