  4. The date 5 Sep 1711 is reported in Source:Bouton, Nathaniel. History of Concord, p. 645, and in Source:Rix, Guy S. History and Genealogy of the Eastman Family of America, p. 26. Noting that both of these are secondary sources, and neither identify the basis of this date, but based on its inclusion in the former, it is suspected this date is recorded in the town records of Concord (that's the best case: a worse case would be an interview of a descendant done generations after the fact). Since the family moved there in 1727, this would have been recorded long after the fact, best case, and hence the Haverhill record must be preferred. That same would be true for all the children recorded in Haverhill since none of the dates align with those given in these secondary sources, and in some cases, even the birth order is changed.
