There is a mistake in his birth date or his death date. And also note he married Sarah Tracy and Zebdiel Lathrop in my other postings first married a Margaret Tracy.Jedediah's actual birth date might be 1764, a transposition -- Need to check/verify,
Hope this all helps.Please note: Asa and Ezekiel according to this writing are b in different generations.

Clarissa was born about 1821 to Spences Lathrop and Clarissa Tupper, and she married Harry S Clark 25 Dec 1845. Spencer was either the eldest of second eldest son of Ezekiel Lathrop and Lydia Crocker, who came to Susquehanna County in 1801 from New London, CT.....their daughter Lydia Lathrop (Spencer's sister) married John Pneuman about 1815 in Springville, Susquehanna County.
Spencer died very young on 12 Jan 1825 and Clarissa (Spencer's wife) must have struggled because their children Oliver, Polly and Clarissa appear on the annual tax lists as poor children which meant that the township paid for their schooling.
-------
Nehemiah Lathrop was a blacksmith and lived all his life in what became Dimock township.. he was the eldest son of Ezekiel and Lydia Lathrop born abour 1788 in CT. He came to PA with his parents in 1801 and later married Marcia Tupper. According to the 1830 census, they had 5 sons and 3 more daughters, and she was between 30 and 40 at the time. By 1840, they had 3 more daughters.
Nehemiah was alive in 1870 at the age of 82, and Marcia died "at her home near Elk Lake on 9 Sep 1881 aged 89" accordng to the national record
-------
Spencer was, I believe, the second son of Ezekiel and Lydia.He married Clarissa Tupper in Rush, Sep 1808. He was a farmer according to the Springville Tax records, but apparently didn't prosper. The republican reports his early death on 12 Jan 1825
