I didn’t pick this date for any particular reason, except seeing a Facebook post from my cousin, Marian, about this being the birthdate of her grandfather, Robert Lindsay and his twin sister, Elizabeth.

The oldest birthdate on this list is Ann Fisher in 1661.  She is my husband’s 6th great grandaunt.  She was born in Dedham, Massachusetts to Cornelius Fisher, Sr. and Leah Heaton.

The oldest death date is Mary Dawson in 1829.  She is also from my husband’s family and is his 1st cousin, 5 times removed.  She was married to Joshua Durant and I don’t know who her parents were.
