    [Given that neither record has a minister name, or a precise date, it is possible neither one was where the marriage occurred.]

  2.   The births of all the children in this family are listed in both Little Compton and Tiverton. However, the deaths are only precise in Little Compton. If this was a move, one would expect the births to only be in one place. So one is left to wonder if this represents a change in jurisdiction, or if it was just a regular process to copy records. One record, for Sarah, shows a birth of 2 Apr 1700 in Little Compton, but 26 Apr 1700 in Tiverton. Since Nathaniel Jr. has a birth of 26 Apr (1703), it appears that Sarah's birth of 26 Apr is the result of a transcription error. This indicates that Tiverton is a copy.
