Recorded Events in Her Life

• She has conflicting birth information of 1758 and Needham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA. ¹

• She appeared on the 1790 US Federal Census on 2 August 1790 in New Braintree, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA. ⁴
  
  1790 census:  Sylvester Richmond in New Braintree, Worcester, Massachusetts:
  Free white males 16 and older:  3  [this would be Sylvester b1746, son Sylvester, and unknown]
  Free white males under 16: 3  [Elijah, Jonathan, and James]
  Free white females: 4 [Elizabeth, Catherine, Betsey, and Lucena]
  All other free persons: 0
  Slaves: 0
  
  The unknown male might be Captain Silvester Richmond (Sylvester b1746's father), just before Capt Silvester remarried to Mrs. Hannah Pratt.  However, new theory that Jonathan Richmond the elder might have survived.  Would explain the count.  And Captain Silvester may be the extra male in the household of Perez Cobb (who married Capt Silvester's daugther Abbiah) since in 1800, there's an older couple living in the Perez Cobb household.
