Narrative

Based on the death record, which stated that she was 60, Isabella would have been born about 1579. However, it has been noted by some (e.g., Anderson, TAG, 61:22, 23; Banks, Vol II, Annals of Edgartown, p. 44) that this is very likely incorrect, that it was either an inflated age or the record should have read 50 rather than 60. Given the birth years of her known two children and the estimate of her husband's age, "Abt 1589" is given as her birth year.
