Alice 'Else' Rawlins was born in 1701 at Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts.2,1 She was the daughter of Benjamin Rawlins Sr. and Sarah Palmer. She married Captain Joseph Cilley, son of Captain Thomas Cilley and Ann Stanyan, in 1724/25 at Salisbury.3,1 She died in 1801.1
Alice was a strong, vigorous, healthy woman, of more than ordinary weight, yet quick of step, strong of will, and methodical in her household arrangements. Her home, whether a log cabin or a house two stories high with "gable windows" was a model of neatness and order "from turret to foundation-stone." During life, she drank neither tea nor coffee, nor tasted of the intoxicating bowl, nor smoked the ugly pipe, nor snuffed the yellow poison. She died in 1801, aged one hundred years, fresh in countenance, fair in features, and young in heart.3
