Job Winslow, aged 71, died on 14 Dec 1809 in what was then called Canaan, Columbia County, New York. Genealogies now record that he died in New Lebanon, as New Lebanon was formed from the town of Canaan in 1818. He was buried in Smith Cemetery in West Lebanon, which is four miles northwest of New Lebanon.

Correction to above:
Job's daughter, Temperance (married names, Higgins and Spencer), was the daughter of his first wife of the same name. The list of beneficiaries in Job's 1804 will first names the three children still living from his first marriage, Temperance, Job and Richard.
The book does not include a nameless child from the 1st marriage, who, aged 16, died in September 1776 in East Haddam and was buried in River View Cemetery. The child's gender and name are missing because the partly illegible burial info, among other Winslow graves, records only the month, year, and age of death.
