    BRADISH, Jerusha, w. Jonas, [died] May 4, 1839.
    [Note: it seems unlikely that a person who died 101+ years of age wouldn't have more notice of her extreme age, such as notice in the History of Westborough, or a comment in the death record, etc. Some websites apply this to the daughter Jerusha, whose birth in 1772 is recorded in Winchendon VRs, p. 17. Based solely on the appearance of the Westborough records, it would appear this is the wife of Jonas, but as can be seen middle of p. 156, it is not explicitly stated to be his wife, nor would there be another likely place to record the daughter's death since her birth was in the records of a different town. Such considerations suggest this death very likely applies to the daughter, unless further information providing an age at death, or a marriage ruling out the daughter, etc., can be found.]
