DEATHS, "The Connecticut Courant," Hartford, CT, 29 Sep. 1829, p. 2:

"At Limington, on the 14th inst. Mr. Lazarus Rowe, aged 104! Mr. Rowe was a native of Greenland, New Hampshire and was one of the first settlers of Baldwin, in Maine, where he lived within about two years since. His wife, Molly Rowe who died last spring, was born the same year with her husband, viz. in 1725. They were married at the age of 18, and consequently lived together eighty-six years. It is presumed that the United States do not contain another man and wife, who have lived so long in the conjugal state. They reared a numerous family, and saw their descendants of the fifth generation! Their youngest son is now a pensioner of the revolutionary army."
