Note

• Note re birth date: Original profile had birth date 10 March 1754 in Norton, Bristol County. No record was found in Norton vital records for the birth of a Silence Jones. Only one record was found for the birth of Silence Jones, and that was for the 1758 birth in Dedham now shown in this profile, and that birth named the parents shown in the original profile. Conclusion that the previous date and location were in error.
