In the Collaboration section is a transcript of a letter Anne wrote 27 Feb 1675/6 (after the death of her daughter Susanna), in which she claimed to be 92 years old. This would put her birth year at about 1584, her age at marriage at about 34, and her age at the birth of Susanna at about 47. None of that is impossible, but it is assumed that she exaggerated her age in the letter (or that the transcript is incorrect and she wrote 82).
