In Memory of Mrs
Deborah Wife of Mr
John Erskins Who
died Novm 17th 1797
In the 65th year of
her age.
[Note: In 65th year, so age 64, so born about 1733. Note that the memorial page gives a birth date of 14 Oct 1731 that is not found in the records, does not agree with the age at death, placing the birth in Abington when she is "of Hanover" at the time of marriage, and no parents are indicated on the memorial page, all of which renders it highly suspect. The only apparent Deborah found in the records about this time, d/o Eliab, bp. Cohasset 10 Oct 1731, is named Deborah Wadkins in her father's will (Plymouth Probate 19682).]
