    'BATTLES ...
    Hannah, d. of Jeremiah and Hannah, May 8, 1744.'

    She could not have been born in 1744, because she was baptized 16 Jan 1742/3. Given that her brother was born Jan 1743/4, and that she was "in the 80th year of her age" when she died, and that her parents were probably married in or by 1741, it is reasonable to assume that she was born some months before she was baptized. The transcribed Mendon VRs have at least one error in the birth year of another member of this family (two births in 1763, three months apart), so it is not unreasonable to assume that she was born 8 May 1742 (rather than 8 May 1744).
