| Notes |
- The limits of birth dates are established by the inscription of date of death on her gravestone in Hunt's Corners, Wayne County, New York: "In memory of/Mehitable/wife of James Sears/ who died March 12, 1826 in the 45th/year of her age." That is, with this information, she could have been born as early as 13 Mar 1780 (45 years 364 days old, i.e. her 46th birthday would be the day after her death) or as late as 12 Mar 1781 (died on her 45th birthday). This information coupled with a list of Jehiel Sherwood's children showing birthdates if available (usually from the Greenfield Hill Church Record) coupled with the number of months the child was born after the previous child (average of known birthdates, 24.75 months) indicated a birthdate for Mehitable in late 1780. Even with large families, children wern't produced much more often than 20 months apart.
