The full date of birth entered above is from the death record card. The month and year correspond with information in the 1900 census. The death record has Woodstock, CT, as the place of birth. However, in the 1850 census record for the Whitney family living in Woodstock, the place of birth for daughter, Mary J., age 5, is entered as Mass. More significant, her marriage records have Southbridge (MA) as the place of birth, which was information provided directly by her.
Her parents are identified as James & Lavina (Lee) Whitney on the death record card (image of which is accessible on Ancestry). With the exception of her mother's maiden name, that information corresponds with the 1850 census.
No birth record has been located to confirm any of the above as, unfortunately, Southbridge is one of the Massachusetts towns that did not published vital records to 1850 and the copy of the Southbridge birth register filed with the Massachusetts State Archives goes only to early August, 1845 (image accessible on americanancestors.org).
She and Putnam Dwight King married in Sutton on the 19th or 21st of March, 1866 (depending on which record is being reviewed).
Her burial at Howard Cemetery (now named Old Howard Cemetery) in Sutton, MA, is documented on the back of the death record card. The lot number is not entered. However, Lot B74 had been purchased by son, Ernest Dwight, in 1899 at the time of passing of his father, her husband, who is buried there. There is no inscription for her - or anyone other than P. Dwight King - on the decorative King family memorial, front or back. As of the time this memorial was created, no plaque or marker has been found.
