-----
[where,
7 mo. = Sep in the pre-1752 Julian Calendar,
C.R.4. = church record, Society of Friends, and
P.R.38 = private record, from the William C. Folger genealogical records in the possession of the Nantucket Historical Association. (This compilation has been used because of the valuable clues it affords, but its statements should be received with caution, as it is not free from errors. It should also be understood that in many instances the events recorded did not take place in Nantucket, and in a few cases attention has been called to the question of residence.)]
