of Reale Estate."
Reboboth Vital Records, Bristol Co. Probate Abstr. Arnold's
transcript of Rehoboth vial records names Experience as the mother
of all three Ormsbee children born there. The origianl records
clearly show, however, that her only child was Jonathan, born
21 Aug. 1729, died 5 Feb. 1729/30, and that the mother of Experience
and Dorothy, born 1731 and 1734, respectively, was Rebeckah. The
published records accurately reflect the originals indacting Experience's
death as August 1729, Rehoboth Vital Records.
