Patience also shows as "Patience Farr" in a 1787 land deed selling land of her father "Daniel Farr" late of Shrewsbury along with her siblings and inlaws to Samuel Farr.(Worcester Deeds, Vol. 106, p. 232.

From Vanessa Herring:

There is a record from Chesterfield that indicates Dea. Daniel's daughter Susanna died on 23 Aug 1789, but checking FindaGrave, I found that it was her sister Hannah who died on that date. The gravestone has only Hannah's name on it, so it wasn't that they both died on the same day.  (Memorial #117429597) So there was a transcription error on the NH record found on FamilySearch, and Ancestry.

The History of Chesterfield, NH by Oran Randell (pg. 295) does not indicate that she died in 1789. It has her being the Susanna who married Joel Harvey, which we know now is incorrect.
