W/O GILES "OLD GILES"
Cemetery Number
PO010
Cemetery Name
PORTSMOUTH FRIENDS' CHURCHYARD


Her death may have been June 30, 1679; but I've listed it as it is on the Rhode Island Cemetery Database.

Her maiden name may have been Cooke as Thomas Cooke was supposed to have been Giles Slocum's brother-in-law. "When Cooke wrote his will in 1674, he devised to his grandson John Cooke, land that was bounded on one side by Brother Giles Slocum."
