  • Notes 
    • The death record at New Bedford says she died on the 11th but the date of record is the 9th, so I am assuming that is a clerical error. She probably died on the 8th or 9th. Her age at death was 69 y 5 m. She died of paralysis. Residence was 84 Shawmut. Birthplace: Tiverton; parents identified as John & Roby, born Tiverton/Westport.
