...Lydia Watts, probably a daughter of John and Lydia. John and Lydia Watts had a son John, born 22 Jan. 1668/9, and a daughter Rebecca, born 22 Feb. 1670/1. The exact date of Lydia (Watts) Gerrish's birth is unknown, but she died 8 Jan. 1697/8, and was buried in Copp's Hill Burying-Ground. Her epitaph reads: "Here lyeth buried ye Body of Lydia Garish ye wife of John Garish, aged about 27 years; decd January ye 8th 1697-8." (Copp's Hill Epitaphs, p. 30.) Another epitaph in Copp's Hill Burying-Ground is the following, which is probably that of Lydia (Watts) Gerrish's mother: "Here lyeth buried ye Body of Lydia Watts, aged 55 years, decd September ye 29, 1700."
