- I have made an assumption that this may be her birth record:
1788 ALLEN, Betty, ch. Joseph (s. Daniel and Betty) and Prudence (d. Caleb Earl and Elizabeth) born Dec 22 1788, Westport, MA
(source: newenglandancestors.org)
According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Betsey/Betty's maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Brightman who married Caleb Earle. If that is correct, the following information possibly pertains to this Elizabeth Brightman:
1742 BRIGHTMAN, Elizabeth, d. Thomas and Judah, Apr. 14, 1742, Dartmouth MA
And, her parents:
1741 BRIGHTMAN, Thomas Jr., of Dartmouth, s. of Thomas, and Judah Manchester of Dartmouth, d. of Stephen, marriage record 24 Dec 1741, Dartmouth, MA
(source: newenglandancestors.org)
These families are all related to our ancestors.
The censuses all state Betsey's place of birth as RI, so she may have been born in RI but her birth was recorded at Westport.
Her age in all the censuses agrees with the above date of birth.
