    In memory of
    Widow Ester
    Dickinson who
    departed this list
    Jan 11 1803 in
    the 88 year of
    her age.
    [Note: the memorial page appears to be a combination of the Esther White, b. Hadley 4 Dec 1715, who married Samuel Dickinson, and the Esther Dickinson, b. Sunderland 15 Jan 1716, who married John Dickinson. Sources seems confused at best, and based on Samuel's residence in Granby and John's in Amherst, this gravestone in Granby would seem most likely to belong to Samuel's widow.]

    [Note: the same death date has been applied to two different people. A newer genealogy, Source:Smith, Elinor V. Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson, p. 419 versus p. 420, also seems to apply the same death date to both persons, and no correction is made in Margaret Bock's Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson : Corrections and additions to the publication of 1978 compiled by Dr. Elinor V. Smith published in 1987. The newest genealogy, Source:Bock, Margaret Buckridge. Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson, 2006, is only available in snippets, but it appears, p. 86 and p. 89 suffer the same defect.]
