Also the age at death makes more sense with a death year of 1754] in her 67th year. … On 1 March 1750 Nathaniel Southworth and his wife Jael of Middleborough sold to Silvanus Barrows of Middleborough their right in the homestead lot of "Old Mr Howland" given to our brother Seth Howland late of Middleborough, deceased, and was set off to Nathaniel and Jael by division.
