-------------------------
Connecticut Vital Records to 1870 (Online Database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2011.) From original typescripts, Lucius Barnes Barbour Collection, 1928, p.4, gives Rebecca's date of birth as 24 Oct 1762 in Windsor, CT. That seems likely, since her parents (Benedict Alford and Rebecca Owen) were married in 1761. This date is confirmed in the Alford Association records: http://www.alfordassociation.org/COLLECTIONS/CLA/brief_notes.pdf

The ages given for Alfred and Rebecca at their time of death appear to be incorrect. Alfred was 73, not 76. I have Rebecca dying 6 Feb 1840, which would make her 77 at the time of her death. Unfortunately, I don't yet have a reliable source for that date of death.
