Biography

[Seth Winslow] married, 15 Jan. 1735-6, Yarmouth Records, Thankful Sears, who died 7 Mar. 1736-7, "in the 19th year of her age," ace. to gravestone in the "Winslow Yard."

It appears the date discrepancy between her marriage, son's birth and her death -15 Jan 1735-6; 7 Mar 1736-7 and her son's birth 29 Jun 1736 (respectively) is due to old style calendar dates. i.e. Nathaniel was born 1736 and she died 1737. Seth Winslow re-married 1737. Not sure what age the baby died.
