[Note: birth about 1731. Find A Grave cites this very source (since it offers no gravestone image) but gives the date 29 May 1796, a clear mistranscription based on the age at death. Simiarly, NEHGR, Vol. 58, p. 148, gives the death date 29 Mar 1798 citing gravestones in Sharon. This also appears to be a mistranscription. No probate has been found.]
