Person talk:Lydia Winship (1)

death date [21 May 2012]

I removed the unsourced death date of 1797 for Lydia.

The vital records of Lincoln, p. 179, give the death on 27 Feb 1797 of Lydia Winship, d. Benjamin and Lydia, a. 14 (town records) or 16 (gravestone). This is clearly the wrong person.

I can find no other record for Lydia, d/o Isaac, besides her baptism (unless she is the Lydia Winship who m. Samuel Hall in Boston in 1802, but that is a little late for a first marriage), nor does Hudson's History of Lexington show anything else. The 1797 death date appears to be the result of naive name matching. --Jrich 00:46, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
