Note: no death or burial record has been found for Grace. Her death year comes from the Boston Transcript. However, her family was strongly associated with this cemetery, whose early records were lost, and she is almost certainly buried here.

Grace was the daughter of John Liscom and Joanna Leonard of Stoughton, Mass. She m. (1) Stoughton 12 April 1751 John McFADDEN, the son of James McFadden and Rebecca Pierce of Georgetown, Maine.. John McFadden was a mariner. Following his death, Grace married in Stoughton (recorded in Sharon, Mass.) 24 Aug 1758 Comfort WHYTON or WHITING, b. Hingham, Mass. 15 Sep 1736, d. 25 Jan 1823, a mariner, and the son of Solomon Whiting and Jael Dunbar.

Grace appears to be living in 1800 and 1810 in Canton, when Comfort Whiting appears on the census, aged 45+ both years, and with a like-aged female both years. Neither Comfort nor Grace is found in the 1820 census, so they likely either died or were living with relatives. Comfort is NOT the one of his name who died 4 Jan 1830 and buried with a grave marker at Canton Corner Cemetery. That person was only 23 when he died.

Grace had two children with her first husband, and eleven more with her second husband (only a few of which reached maturity).
