3. ↑ ^3.0 3.1 Elizabeth Jackson Bond, in Find A Grave.

   The notes say that her age was 83 and her spouse Col. Joseph Bond of Watertown (consistent with the transcript included in the published Newton Vital Records).
   
   The gravestone, which is in such good shape that it is likely a reproduction of an earlier one (and thus possibly changed from the earlier one), says:
   Her lyes Buried y^e Body of M^rs Elizabeth Bond late Consort of Coll^o Jonas Bond of Watertown Who departed this LIfe January y^e 25^th Anno Dom 1740 in y^e 83 Year of Her Age
