vi. Lydia, b. 9 September 1735 (full date in Dartmouth Monthly Meeting records)

vital records sources: her birth dates are from several sources: Vital Records of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, to the year 1850 vol. 1 (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1929), 148, and the Dartmouth Monthly Meeting records say 5th of 8th month, which is Oct. on the contemporary Julian calendar; a family Bible says 8th of the 5th month (July). I don't favor one source over the other. Her marriage is in the Dartmouth MM records and from there, published in Vital Records of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, to the year 1850 vol. 2 (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1930), 248. Her death is in ibid, vol. 3 (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1930), 40, and in the Dartmouth MM records.
