Biography

Dinah Fuller was born on the 29th of December, 1718, at Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut Colony, the daughter of James Fuller & Abigail Ward.^[1] She was then baptized the 2nd of April, 1721, again, at Ashford.^[2]

The birth location of Cambridge, Middlesex, MA, appears to be made up as it's contradicted by that town's vital records & by Ashford's town records, which is where her birth was recorded.^[3]

Dinah was married to Nathaniel Walker on the 31st of May, 1736, at Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut Colony.^[4]

She died in 1780 in Ashford, Windham, Connecticut. (Not documented.) Her Findagrave memorial does not have a gravestone & it's perpetuating the erroneous birth location of Cambridge, MA.^[5]
