    [Note: a careful reading of the published church record makes it clear the baptism occurred in November. Page 404 says he "lived in Lunenburg, Mass. in 1735", but this is contradicted by evidence (deed 19 Jan 1732/33 Benjamin Whetcomb of Lancaster (Vol. 4, p. 209), daughter Tamer born in Lancaster (p. 63) 1735, deed 19 Feb 1736/37 Benjamin Whitcomb of Lancaster (Vol. 16, p. 199), son Benjamin born in Lancaster (p. 65) in 1737) and since the basis for this statement is not given, it is presumed wrong.]
