When the cause of death was drowning, this is also recorded. Otherwise I guess we assume death was of natural causes.

The writing on the Boston archive is beautiful and, unlike others, so easy to decipher. A different fascinating interpretation on this week's prompt.

If these records are freely accessible, maybe check a few others and see if they also appear twice within a three month period?Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-40073877750413462772016-08-07T15:43:04.272-04:002016-08-07T15:43:04.272-04:00The year the marriage took place was 1794, not 179...The year the marriage took place was 1794, not 1793 (see halfway down the page) The date in the second record is February 13, 1794. It is probably the date of the notice of marriage of Betsey Dwelle and Ebenezer Pulsipher. With just two months between that date and the date of marriage that certainly looks like a possibility to me. Local laws or habits need to be checked for confirmation.
