Jane (Hill) Dimon, d. 1774, in Redding, Conn.; m. John Hill; m. 2d, 1738, Moses Dimon; m. 3d, Aug. 10, 1749, Gideon Allen. "Moses Dimon's third wife." (F. T. Rec.)

_____________________________

Married, 2d., Abigail Gilbert; m. 3d, 1738, Jane Hill.

Settled on the homestead in Fairfield and was one of the wealthy and influential citizens of the town.

No record of his first marriage can be found in Fairfield; it is, therefore, presumed that he was married in some other place.

His second and third wives are mentioned in the town records, and the following marriage agreement with Jane Hill, his third wife, may be of some interest:

" Marriage agreement between Moses Dimon and Jane Hill March 7th, 1738.

This indenture made between Moses Dimon of the Town and County of Fairfield in the Colony of Connecticut of the one part: and Jane Hill of said Fairfield, single woman, on the other part, witnesseth: that whereas there is a marriage agreed upon and shortly to be confirmed between the said Moses Dimon and Jane Hill. Now it is agreed by the said parties that after the confirma- tion of the said marriage of the said Moses Dimon shall have and hold all the money, goods credits and uses of lands that said Jane Hill now stands possessed of : and it is further agreed and con- sented to that after the marriage of the aforesaid if the said Moses Dimon happen to depart this transitory life before the said Jane then the said Jane shall have out of the estate of the said Moses Dimon (one hundred pounds current money of said Colony) and also the use of that half of the dwelling house where the said Moses Dimon now dwells and two barrels of cider yearly, and also use of half of the garden at the west end of the house and apples sufficient for her use, the time the said Jane continue the widow of the said Moses Dimon, and lib- erty of the use of the well.
