Elizabeth Nicholson was born 13th of 11th 1680 (old calendar, 13 Jan 1681 new calendar) to Christopher and Hannah Nicholson according to the original copy of Perquimans Monthly Meeting minutes.[1] In Hinshaw's transcription he has left the date old style as 11-13 1680.[2]
There is no documentary evidence that she lived to adulthood and died in 1720 or 1741 as is sometimes seen.

Nicholson-701 and Nicholson-695 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same people, same parents, same DOB. But please note that she died in infancy according to Quaker records a link for which is now posted to both records. I think the DOD should be corrected to that in Quaker records at the time of merge.

Absent documentation to the contrary that she lived longer this date of death should be adopted.
