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.

The following places of birth and death are represented:

CANADA – 1

I was able to create these lists in a very few seconds by using the “Search” feature in Legacy 8.  Here’s my post with step by step instructions on Using the Legacy 8 Search Feature
