    This is the last entry for 1693 - implying 1693/94.

    In his will, Benjamin 'named his sons Joseph, James, John, Jonathan, and William, and daughters Mary Morgan [sic, although she was already married], Jerusha Morgan, Hannah Morgan, and Sarah Morgan; ...'

    There is no record of the birth or baptism of a daughter Hannah, and if the will lists the children in age order (as it seems to), there is no reasonable gap in which she could have been born - she would have had to be a twin to Jerusha, Jonathan or Sarah, or there would have been 11-month gaps between children. Another possibility is that Hannah is an incorrect transcription of Sarah, and Benjamin's intent is to list both his daughter Sarah and his widowed daughter-in-law Sarah.
