I hadn't seen that before, but just a year earlier in a letter she stated she was living with her son, Silas, and his wife, Nancy. But, that census is riddled with mistakes (it lists her has a "Male" and that she cannot read or write -- of which a beautiful letter survives in her hand just the year before this census). So, I like the clue that she was 65 and perhaps born in 1785 (as opposed to 1780-1782 of which I have seen before), I am still inclined to believe she was born in Connecticut from other more reliable sources. So I will widen my search for her birth year to include 1785. :) Thanks!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
