    Patty Jones Daughter of Elisha Jones and Elizabeth his wife was born Feburary 18th 1784.

  3.   The daughter of Elisha Jones is the only Martha/Patty Jones that appears to fit the age at death. Plus, from the naming of the children, there does appear to be a connection to the Farrar family, which this choice also satisfies. Source:Thorne, Sue Farrar. Descendants of Jacob Farrar Jr. and Hannah Hayward of Lancaster, Massachusetts to 1825, p. 80, shows no marriage for this Patty Jones, so this does not appear to contradict any known facts.
    This website lists Martha's birth as 25 Nov 1785, but she is included only as the wife of Emerson Barrett, and no parents are named. No such Martha/Patty is found in the actual records, and further, this birthdate appears to have been copied from the record for Hepzibah Jones, d/o Peter Jones, found 2 lines about the 1784 birth of Elisha's daughter. So it is believed to be a bookkeeping error.
