  Headstones		Tombstone of Lt. John Wood John died on February 22, 1739, in Little Compton. His headstone reads: “In Memory of Lieu John Wood Died February 22, 1739, in ye 77 year of age.” Note if he was in his 77th year, he was 76 years old, which means he was born in 1663.
  		Mary Church Wood Tombstone Mary died on November 11, 1748. Her headstone reads: “In Memory of Mary Widow of Lieu John Wood Died Nov ye 11 1748 Aged about 89 years.” This would indicate she was born in 1668. However, Hingham’s original records show she was born on March 26, 1666, and baptized on April 1, 1666. This means she lived to be ninety-one.
