[16] Jonathan Marshall's age at death, recorded in his burial record, suggests a birth year of about 1744, which would suggest he was about age 23 when he started his apprenticeship and about age 26 when he married widow Ann Burgess.
Widow Ann Burgess may have been the Ann in the following records:
