  • Notes: 
  • Generally an age over 100 years generates a red flag, but the Dorchester Vital Records actually states "Ann Pearse, the wife of Robert Pearse, aged about one hundred and four years, Died ye 31th (sic) of December 1695." But based on the ages of siblings and her son Thomas, her year of birth appears to be off by about 10 years.
