    Children of John Bicknell by wife Mary Porter: Child, b. 10 Apr. 1682. [But note: this same source on p. 3:78 says John d. bet. 6 Nov 1678 and 20 Jan 1678-9 (Bicknell Genealogy, p. 5, is even more detailed, noting that these dates are the writing and proving of his will, but ironically, this source also attributes to John this unnamed child born 3 years after he died). This implies he could not be the father of this child. As no wife is named in the birth record, this leaves one to believe the father was probably John's son John b. abt. 1654. We do not know when John married his wife Sarah (estimated 1687 by secondary sources, but that may be based solely on births of other children). It is not known if this might belong to an unknown first wife (suggested by gap until the next known child) or if he married Sarah early enough for this to be theirs.]

  3. Source:Vital records of Weymouth, Massachusetts, to the year 1850 has no mention of the death of this child, either as part of the birth record, or as a separate death record. The presumption must be that the child died before it was named, so very soon after birth.
