6.   Damon says that George Wetherall was born after 24 Mar 1742, presumably because he was not mentioned by name in the deed of that date in which William Duff deeded land to John and Lilly Wetherall his wife during their natural lives, and after their decease to "the lawful issue of the said Lilly Wetherall" Damon, p. 100. An alternative interpretation would be that George was born before that date, hence the reference to "lawful issue" in the deed. If George were born after 1742, he would barely have been 21 at the time of his father's death in 1763 and it seems unlikely that he would have been a Justice of the Peace at that time or a Sergeant in the Militia in 1756.
