  3. A birth about 1740 as claimed by the Graves Genealogy would make her roughly 14 (or younger for births in most of 1740) when she married in Feb 1754. Marriages at such a young age almost never happened in New England because the church would not approve. The basis for this estimate is not given, nor found, but is believed to be bogus. A marriage in 1754 suggests a birth before 1736, which given the births of siblings, suggests 1728 is a much more likely estimate, especially given her husband was born about 1728. Compare to the similar comments regarding her sister Esther.
