    Elizabeth Graves, b. 14 May 1721, m. Timothy Cole, 11 Sept. 1777 (as his second wife).
    [Note: This appears copied from Source:Graves, John Card. Genealogy of the Graves Family in America with no fact checking, and is wrong. No identification of Timothy is provided, but the marriage record calls him Jr., which presumably makes him the Timothy born 1741 to Timothy and Sarah. His first wife was Rhoda Bardwell, and their marriage is found in Belchrttown with him listed as Timothy Cowles. Several children are botn in Hatfield to Timothy Cole and wife Rhode up until 1770, and then after that births are recorded to Timothy Cowles Jr with no wife named. His will (Hampshire Box 40, file 19) names widow Elizabeth plus both sets of children referred to. Obviously the children born after 1777 belonged to Elizabeth and so his second wife Elizabeth was not a woman born in 1721, 20 years older than her husband, and having children when she was 60 years of age.]
