| Shared note | A Dea. Reuben Whitney is in the Harvard VR's with a death date of 4 Feb 1823, but with age 60 years given, Revolutionary Soldier. If he was fudging 5 years on his age this could be this man, who would have been just two weeks+ short of age 65. Further to this point, there is an entry in the Deaths in the Vital Records of Lancaster, Worcester, MA, that reads: Reuben of Harvard, a deputy Sheriff, Feb. 14, 1823, suddenly, at the house of the Widow of Geo. Phelps, a. 64y. Town Records 2, p. 195. Provided by: Allan Green [email protected] |
