OLIVE wife of ELI LEWIS died May 7 1842 in the 78 year of her age. [Note: Birth about 1765]
↑Source:Penna-Oakes, Shirley Elizabeth. Lewis Unlimited says Olive was d/o Joseph Parker and Elizabeth Martain, "b. 31 Jan 1765, Braintree, MA". The basis for this date is unknown, as no such birth record has been found, certainly not in Braintree. Joseph and Elizabeth m. in Andover, by 1763 they had moved to New Braintree and had a son Abraham though no record is found there for Olive, and in 1766 Joseph married as a second wife Zerviah Lincoln. Such small errors certainly raise doubts how authoritative the basic assertion is???
