Research Notes

According to Plymouth town records, Elizabeth was born 29 June 1782 and died at the age of 6 years and 5 weeks. This gives us a death date of 3 Aug 1788. Her headstone at the Burial Hill cemetery reads that she died 5 Aug 1787 at the age of 7. The headstone likley has the right day of death but the year does not seem correct. She would only be 5 with that date of death with the date of birth in town records. Based on this, she likely died 5 Aug 1788.
