Jerusha Simonds (abt. 1768 - 1844) Connecticut Genealogy This Has “FEBRUARY” written all over it

Question

Jerusha (Simonds) (Hunt) Roberts was born about 1768 the daughter of William Simonds and Rebecca Webster; baptized May 29, 1768; widow of Captain Oliver Hunt d. 1818; married Captain Cornelius Roberts 1822. She died February 10, 1844. I was able to photograph her gravestone. I added the FAG Link. We need help adding her husbands especially Captain Cornelius Roberts with more sources. Any Genealogy Collaborative help Is appreciated. Also she died in February. I fulfilled her photo request in February and her FAG profile was created in February. Is it possible she was born in February?

What should be current married last name. Hunt or Roberts?

See Jerusha Hunt’s FAG Link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/197078919/jerusha-hunt

See Captain Cornelius Roberts FAG Link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/197074130/cornelius-roberts

See Captain Oliver Hunt FAG Link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/21419394/oliver-hunt

FYI: her stone has writing on 3 sides. The stone needs cleaning unable to catch the inscription on some sides 

Answer 1

I would say her second husbands surname should be her current last name.

Here's a record of their 31 Jan 1822 marriage (one more day and a February wedding!):

Comments

February Wedding!!! One day short ! I wonder if licensed to be married then wedding in feb? I’ll bet she was born February. The 1822 marriage would be to Captain Roberts as her 1st husband Capt. Oliver Hunt died 1818. Also everyone on page 157 is basically buried there in Elmwood
