PARKER, Hannah, w. John, [died] May 26, 1734.
↑ The published Reading records have a birth of Sarah, d/o John, on 3 Aug 1664 (citing Middlesex County records) and of Hannah, d/o John, on 8 Aug 1664 (from town records). Looking at a copy of the town records and the Middlesex County records, one can find in both, the birth of John, s/o Hannaniah Parker on 3 Aug 1664. In the Reading record, it is followed by Hannah, d/o John Brown, b. 8 Aug 1664, whereas in the Middlesex record, it is followed by Sarah, d/o John Brown, b. 3 Aug 1664. Thus it is almost certain that the birth of Sarah is a miscopying of Hannah's record.
