    p. 32: Lucy Eunice Town Daugter to Samuel Town and Tabathe Town his wife was born September ye 16th 1779.
    p. 46: Enoch D/o [i.e., ditto, meaning "of Sam'll Town & Tabathy his wife"] born Sep'r 16: 1779.
    [Note: Clearly this birth was misrecorded by the town clerk. Source:Allred, Marilyn. Town of Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, Genealogical Records 1739-1900, Births, Marriages,, p. 277, apparently assumes there were twins born, Lucy and Enoch. However, the listing on p. 46 is a family group, apparently a snapshot of the family recorded at the birth of brother Sylvanus in 1789, and includes Lucy from 1774 and Enoch from 1779. So it appears that in actuality the birth was first recorded as Eunice as a misinterpretation of the name Enoch, and then made worse by blindly correcting to Lucy based on the record saying daughter. So it appears there was only one daughter Lucy, and the 1779 child was a son named Enoch.]
