  5. ↑ The Prescott Memorial places her death in Concord, but it is not listed in the Concord records, so this is probably a bookkeeping error on their part. It is assumed she was living with, or at least visiting, her brother the doctor of Northampton, possibly due to an illness?? The date 30 Oct is probably a corruption of 3 Oct, but whether 3 Oct or 9 Oct is correct is hard to say. Possibly the first is the actual death, the second may be the date of burial?
