    Children of Samuel Morse and Grace ---: Jacob, bp. Watertown 6 Jun 1703.
    [Note: this is a baptism, and so the fact that it is only 4 months before the baptism of Jonas, and the middle of 3 separate baptisms in 14 months, does not mean that it is wrong. However, it would be nice to confirm this against the original records, rather than relying solely on Bond, who has been known to mistranscribe or misinterpret some records. Note for example, that while Bond shows Jonas bp. 12 Oct 1703, Hudson in History of Marlborough, p. 417, shows Jonas as 12 Oct 1705. Whether Bond misread the record, or Hudson made an educated guess of a more normal value, is not clear.]
