    Children of Jonathan Severy [#14] [no mention of wife]: 1) Jonathan b. 4 Nov 1780.
    [Note: neither marriage record, nor this birth record found. Text says "the births of his children I take from tradition or compute from their ages as stated in the records of their deaths."]

  2. Based on her age at death, it is possible his wife was the Sarah Severy who d. 1842 aged 90 (i.e., born 1752). [Since not identified, that record is documented on User:Jrich/Unplaced Warwick Records#Deaths. She is about his age (as uncertain as that is) and therefore old enough to be the mother of his children (or a subsequent wife if he married more than once). We have so little information about this couple, almost nothing can be said for certain.
