Shouldn't her birth surname be spelled "Dickinson"? All the marriage records use that spelling, as does "A Record of the Cope Family."

Shouldn't dates be converted from the Quaker calendar to the modern one? For example, 10 eleventh month 1741 would be 10 January 1742 rather than 10 November 1741.

I don't think they lived to be 128 years old back then.
