Content Larkin
F, #7652, b. 1779, d. 21 June 1807
Biography
Research Note | | Her gravestone says she is the daughter of James Larkin. I have not found a birth record for her in Arnold's, but there is a marriage record for Larkin, James, of Hopkinton, and Elizabeth Ward, of Thomas, of Newport; m. by Elder John Mason, Sept. 19, 1772.
That would be compatible with a birth year of 1779, so perhaps those are her parents. I don't see any children of James and Elizabeth. |
