Grave of Mehitable Whitmore Bacon
January 11, 1732- Samuel Doolittle, newborn son of Thomas Doolittle & Sarah Abernathy, dies in Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut.

January 17, 1732- My eighth great grandaunt, Mehitable Whitmore (widow of Andrew Bacon), dies at the age of 62 in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut. She lies buried in Riverside Cemetary in Middletown. Her tombstone reads:
 "Here Lyeth the body of Mehetable Bacon Relict of Andrew Bacon who died Jan 17th 173 1/2 in y 63 year of her age"

(Samuel Doolittle is my second cousin 8 times removed. Our common ancestor is Abraham Doolittle.)
