Person talk:Elizabeth Whale (3)

Death date [20 January 2011]

I removed the death date of "14 Dec 1690, Sudbury, Middlesex, MA". As the note I left on the page said, "It is too coincidental that this is the same death date normally assigned to Elizabeth Rice, widow of John Moore, Sr. of Sudbury, whose maiden name at one time was thought to be Elizabeth Whale (never this Elizabeth Whale, however, but putatively her niece of the same name). Until/unless an authority for this date is provided, it is most likely an error." The death record on this date in Sudbury is definitely for wid. Elisabeth More, whose maiden name was Rice, not Whale, and so not this person. I believe the confusion caused by this erroneous death date has led to incorrect merging of separate individuals, so though I cannot provide the correct value, I feel it should be removed, having no source to support it. --Jrich 16:30, 20 January 2011 (EST)
