Rhode Island: Vital Records, 1636-1850 (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014), Originally Published as: Vital record of Rhode Island 1636-1850: First Series: births, marriages and deaths: a family register for the people by James N. Arnold. Providence, RI: Narragansett Historical Publishing Company. Kent County - V1, Part 2 (East Greenwich), page 2-152. Subscription.
  • Birth Date: Was 20 December 1759. The only record of her birth date is from Arnold's "Vital Record of Rhode Island..." which recites the year 1757. That causes a conflict with brother William's birth date of 12 July 1758, just 6-1/2 months. From a logical view, 1759 makes more sense, and a 9 could easily be mistaken for a 7. However, there doesn't seem to be an image of the actual entry in the East Greenwich town records. Until that happens, the birth date must remain 1757 with the conflict noted.

At least two of these spouses need to be disconnected. She wasn't even born until after they died.
