  5. ↑ None of the sources show the birth date as anything other than 28 Feb 1758, but the age at death suggests a birth about 1753. Misreading 1753 as 1758 is possible, but probably not in this case, since Lydia's parents had a son Warren born 16 Nov 1753. The is no birth record of another Lydia Brigham in Marlborough whose birth is a closer fit to the age at death. Probably the age at death on the gravestone is wrong.
