專家說明

The example by Hurd is likely in memory of Priscilla Otis (1721-1750) who died unmarried at the age of 29 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The daughter of Job Otis Sr. (1677-1758) and Mercy Little (1678-1755), Priscilla was part of only the second generation of Otis' born in the American colonies after her grandfather John Otis (1621-1684) had emigrated from Glastonbury, England to Scituate, Plymouth Colony.
