    The birth of his daughter Deborah in 1640 or 1648 is on our books. [Apparently he felt the entry somewhat illegible or out of order, though most other sources, including the published VRs seem to favor 1640.1648 seems a little more consistent with the overall history of the family since they migrated to Salem first, only later to Gloucester.]
