!SOURCE: Email from R. Gilebarto to Weldon Whipple, 22 Mar 2007, noting the following:

Florence Ruth ... was NOT born in Ledyard as stated on death certificate. Ledyard Town Hall verified the lack of record.

Information [on her death certificate] was provided by her son Jacob, and in error. She was born in Westerly, RI, where her mother died 6 days later from Puerperal fever (infection of the womb). This was stated by Grandma herself to my mother when she was alive.

1930 Census gives correct info of RI birth
