Elizabeth Lincoln Baylies was the daughter of General Benjamin Lincoln and Mary Cushing and wife of Revolutionary officer Hodijah Baylies. Hingham’s published history gives her birth as December 6, 1759 and their marriage as June 23, 1784. They lived in Hingham before moving to Taunton and then Dighton, and had four children. A military genealogical register records her death at Dighton in 1823. These dates conflict with the 1765–1799 lifespan attached to this entry.
