According to the Pepperell vital records, this Tryphena died of an unspecified fever.
Pete has a great-great-great-great grandmother named Tryphena (b. 1800) who had a sister named Tryphosa. I was a little surprised to find a Tryphena born before 1750. Even though Tryphena and Tryphosa are mentioned in the Bible (Romans 16:12), it's such a classical name that I would have expected it to crop up after 1780 or so.
