Salisbury-609 and Salisbury-1847 appear to represent the same person because: Salisbury- 609 is the same person as Salisbury-1847 Same spouse, same dates

I am wondering where your death date for Ruth came about. I have scoured many databases and books and have found no mention of even an approximate death. While there are several Ruth Spragues who died in Rhode Island, none of them fit with the sourced information that I have. I am new to WikiTree, but have a number of resources for Ruth (Salisbury) Sprague to share.
