Person talk:Elizabeth Whitney (4)


death date [6 May 2016]

I removed the death date of 1789. From the Whitney Genealogy, it appears to be a misreading of the entry on Elizabeth's husband Daniel Bigelow, being his death date, i.e., Elizabeth m. "Daniel Bigelow; bap. Aug. 29, 1697; d. 1789". The Bigelow Genealogy, p. 43, says Daniel "lived there [i.e., 'Worcester, in that part known as Pakachoag Hill'] until his death about 1789". It gives no death date for Daniel's wife Elizabeth. No death record has been located in Worcester records, nor in various Worcester inscriptions checked, nor is there a probate file for either Daniel or Elizabeth. --Jrich 16:10, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
