    [Note: this identification, correcting an earlier article, p. 3:72, implies the age on the gravestone is off by 10 years. However, based on the age of the husband, this seems reasonable. However, see also, Essex Genealogist, Vol. 16, p. 113, which presents information from a document "Cataloge of Things Past" kept by John Swain himself wherein he mentions
    November 12: 1737 My well beloved wife Mary Swain died in the 47th years.
    December 5: 1737 then my mother Perkins died at my house.
    April 30: 1723: My father Perkins died.
    Topsfield VRs, p. 243 and 242, show the following:
    PERKINS, Tobijah, Capt., [died] Apr. 20, 1723 [May 1, a. 76 y. 6 m. 11 d. GR1]
