Mary (Thurber) Alger died in Providence in 1815. Her death record indicates that she was 67, which is correct.
Mary (Thurber) Mason's death certificate indicates that her age at death was about 84. Her stone also gives her age as 84. In 1820, Mary, the daughter of Samuel and Rachel would have been 84, which is also correct.

**Rehoboth records show that Samuel and Rachel Thurber had a daughter on 25 Jun 1732 whom they named Mary; this little girl died on 9 Jul 1736.
