    Children of Jonas Parker and Lucy Munroe: 1) Lucy, b. Holden 9 Oct 1745, d. Princeton 16 Sep 1813 aged 68 [sic, 66, compare to death record above, and gravestone]. "She was both deaf and dumb. After the dec[e]ase of her father ... her uncle, Thomas Parker, Esq., of Prinecton, took her into his family and provided her a home."

  6. 6.0 6.1 The discrepancy between birth and baptism cannot be explained. Presumably one or the other record was made after the fact and is incorrect.
  7. 7.0 7.1 It is unknown which of the two death records is correct. Both work out to the same birth, and since there is a gravestone for only one, perhaps she survived a near death and lived six more years? On the other hand, the 1813 death is not as precisely labelled, and may belong to somebody else. It could not belong to the person indicated by the Find A Grave memorial, who would have been only 32 in 1813.
