She was the 6th child of Capt. Oliver Hale and Judith (Hale) Hale, out of 13 children [source: Thomas Hale Book, pg 174]. She died aged 23 years [gravestone]. (other sources: Vital Records- Newbury pg 205 (birth).

Note courtesy of Edward R. Hale:
A review of Vital Records Newbury finds the marriage of the only Matthew Hale marriage is to Mehitable Short of Amesbury int. 3 Feb 1760 (pg 217).
Only birth of Mehetabel in Newbury was 15 Sept. 1739 pg 474 making the age of death 86 years. It does not match the head stone but it matches time frame and husband and very near the VR Birth. Given the VR data I would say the headstone age info does not match any Vital Records of Mehetabel Short.

"Behold and see as you pass by,
For as you are so once was I;
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for Death to follow me."
