Research Notes

Lydia's death was listed originally as 1713, which caused an error in the database as the only child listed in the profile was William born in 1715. As the last child was born in 1729 and Lydia was the mother, 1713 is not possible. From the original sources. it appears the death date came in from an ancestry.com tree. There is a tree there (maybe more than one) that lists 1713, but there is no source for the date. No death source has been found for Lydia.
