    COBB, Anne, w. William, [died] Nov. 20, 1759. [Anna, Nov. 20, 1739, in 30th y. GR5]
    [Note: GR5=Babbit, or Cobb, Cemetery. Find A Grave has a picture, but the gravestone is so covered with lichen that it is unreadable, and the memorial text relies on the above VR. The inscription given in the VR apparently differs from the town record by confusing the 5 for a 3 in the death year. Since the age at death of 30 for a death in 1759 is incompatible with the marriage in 1737 (would imply she was 8 at time of marriage), it is assumed the same error was made in the age, and the age at death should be 50, which with a death in 1759 gives a birth about 1709 which better suits a marriage in 1737.]
