Ebenezer (Brooks), b. (Concord) "21 Feb. 1670/71 [sic 1667]".
[Note: sic, because per published Concord records, it was 21 Feb 1667. However, it was recorded near a series of 1670 births. Also, Caleb's wife at the time was named Susan, she died in early 1669. Also, per the list of children shown, Feb 1666/67 would be 10 months after one and 9 months before the next, while Feb 1667/68 would be 3 months after one and 10 months before the next. Age at death suggests birth in 1670, so allowing sufficient time for his father to remarry, the first reasonable year is 1670/71.]
