Notes
General:
Find-a-Grave states, without evidence, that Jane Dixon Kaple was born 4 May 1719 in Ireland. A second, presumably later, gravestone reads "JANE KAPLE 1719 -- 1821". The older stone reads
"J. Kaple Di. Mar. 29 1821 AG. 102 ys."
AGE:
The following story is in Parker in America on page 459. It may or may not be true.
Dimmis Kaple had two bros.--Aruna and Bela. Bela was a free thinker. Her gr.-mo. lived to be 104 years old. On the day she was 100 years old she spun one run of flax thread, weighing one and one-fifth ounces, and sent it to the governor of New York, who had an account of it published in the papers. She was from Ireland.
