    ROBINS, Jedidiah, s. Elezer and Ruth, [born] Aug. 24, 170[9?].
    [The suggested date is incompatible with the marriage date in Jan 1709/10 (double-dating explicit in published record), and no year starting with 170- is compatible with this. However, the original (top entry, p. 31) lists Jedidiah as the first child in the family, with year "179", not 170-. The death record, in 1737 age about 22, which would be a birth about 1715-1716, depending on if age 22, or in 22nd year, but this may conflict with Ruth's birth. No single change produces a consistent answer, so some speculation is necessary. Given that Jedidiah is listed first, and a birth in 1710 would be about two years before the next child, that seems the most likely answer. There is no probate or gravestone located, and perhaps the church death record was 1732 misread as 1737 (town record says 173-)?]
