Research notes

Supposedly there is a second birth record in Leominster for a Joanna born in 25 Nov 1748, which would match her age on her headstone. Will update when I locate a sourceCole-12288 19:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

I've added some info to this bio, including some info about an alternate birth date. There's a full discussion here:

http://www.wheelockgenealogy.com/ralphdsc/d0008/g0000016.html#I861

I was going to stick with the 1740 date b/c there is a primary source for it, but when I see that if she was born in 1740 she would have been 52 when Cephas was born...which isn't impossible, but makes me think that 1748 is correct, and in line with her age on her headstone. I'd like to change the date to 1748. What do you think?
