    Willson, Lydia, twin d. Joseph and Rebekah, [born] June 14, 17[torn].
    [Note: not just the other twin (Elijah), but most of the birth records for this family are torn, so siblings birth dates give us no clue as to the year Lydia was born. Her age at death suggests 1743, but there is always ambiguity in age at death, even if birthdates are remembered correctly. Here, besides the choice between age 33 and in her 33rd year (Find A Grave: "AE. 33"), she is 8 days short of her birthday, so they might have given her credit for the whole year. So, all told, the year could be 1742, 1743, or 1744.]
