 General Notes:
The death certificate of her daughter Frances Celia Watrous Wetherell lists her mother's birth as Walpole, NH. The death above implies a birth of 1803. This is in fact what is recorded in "A History of Walpole". It also lists her as having married a "Waters". "Arthur Scovell and His Descendants in America" (p. 70) lists her birth, and having married a "Waters" or "Warrous." She did in fact marry "Watrous" which is often misrecorded as Waters in various records.
The Walpole book lists her as having died before 1826, while Scovell Descendants references a second marriage to William Perkins. We know from her gravestone in Bolton (Gravestone: "Prudence Scovil, wife of Elijah A. Watrous, died Apr. 23, 1882 age 78") that neither of these is true.
Walpole's vital records were lost in a fire in the 1800s.
Prudence married Elijah Abel WATROUS, son of Jonathan Bissell WATROUS and Abia WEBSTER, on 13 Feb 1822 in Bolton, CT.35 (Elijah Abel WATROUS was born on 28 Sep 1800 in Hebron, CT,36 died on 23 Dec 1883 in Bristol, CT 36,37 and was buried in Bolton, CT 37.)
