Person talk:Experience Sumner (1)


death date [12 January 2012]

I removed the death date of 11 Jun 1695. Although the Sumner Genealogy in Source:NEHGR, p. 8:110, says "Experience, b. 22 Sept, 1664, m. Eleazer Carver, of Taunton, d. 11 June, 1695", this was corrected in the reprint to read "Experience, b. at Boston 22 September, 1664; m. Thomas Gould of Boston". Thomas and Experience had a son in 1696 showing that she did indeed live past 1695, and "The Carver Family of New England", p. 57, says Dea. Eleazer Carver married 11 Jun 1695 Experience (Blake) Sumner, widow of Samuel Sumner, and she d. 1746/7, so the original assertion was wrong in many ways. --Jrich 20:21, 12 January 2012 (EST)
