I cannot find much about Mabel in primary sources... There is the newspaper clipping of her leaving her husband Thomas in 1796

This prompted me to look at the 1790 census of Thetford, as it was from her household in Thetford that she absconded...
Once I saw the her Thomas Burnham family listed I looked elsewhere in the same Thetford list and saw that there was a David Saxton.

This David seems to be the same as found in ancestry dot com genealogies .

David's father is Charles Sexton
David's mother is Rachel Waters

No Mable is there...
For that matter... no FAG for Mable, No birth record for Mable, etc..

also of interest:
We've established that Mabel had a son named Jehiel who evidently also liked to spell the gaiven name Burrel...

Loojking back a generation or mor ein Tolland COunty CT, there was a Jehiel Sexton... Perhaps Mabel favored that name when she named her son?
