The Andover VRs record the births of two Phebe Lovejoys.

Phebe, daughter of Henry (Jr.) and Phebe b. 20 Sep 1735
Phebe, daughter of Hezekiah & Hannah (Austin) b. 24 Oct 1737


One Phebe married Davis Walton abt 1753 in or near Amherst, NH

One Phebe married Daniel Austin 9 Oct 1756 in Andover, Mass. This Phebe (Lovejoy) Austin died 29 Sep 1802 "in the 67th year of her age" and was buried at the South Cemetery, Lunenburg, Mass. (see: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=AU&GS...;)


mtDNA testing of a direct "umbilical" (all female line) descendant of Phebe (Lovejoy) Walton proved she was the daughter of Hezekiah & Hannah, as she was a full match to a direct umbilical descendant of Phebe's sister, Hannah (Lovejoy), wife of Jacob Stanley.

Thus, the wife of Daniel Austin would have been the daughter of Henry (Jr.) and Phebe.

There is a third Phebe Lovejoy to add -- Phebe born 8 March 1734/5 daughter of Samuel Lovejoy and Hannah Stevens and she seems the most likely candidate as the spouse of Daniel Austin. Henry Lovejoy and Phebe Chandler located in Concord, NH and it is likely that their daughter Phebe married Joseph Abbott and resided in Concord.
