BIRTH: About 1588 (aged 47 in 1635 [Hotten 44]; deposed 25 June 1661 "aged about three score and seven" [EQC 2:288]). (The passenger list age is more likely correct, inasmuch as the deposition age would make him only nineteen at marriage. It is unusual, however, for a person at that age to underestimate by six years.)
