Dorothy D'o [i.e., ditto, meaning "to Simeon Rice & Hannah his Wife"] born April 18: 1788.
[Note: the record clearly says 1788, and in fact, 1788 was written in the margin by a town clerk to clarify. Source:Allred, Marilyn. Town of Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, Genealogical Records 1739-1900, Births, Marriages,, p. 227 reports this as 1788. However, it is given as 1780 in some of the secondary literature, e.g., Source:Ward, Andrew Henshaw. Genealogical History of the Rice Family : Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice, p. 227, and Source:Whipple, Blaine. 15 Generations of Whipples, p. 145. While this 1780 date seems more "normal", it is not what is reported in the records.]
