    [There seems to be a problem with certain births recorded in Scituate whether using this magazine, Source:Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Vital Records to the Year 1850, or Source:Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, in New England. The recorded birth comes after the baptism as recorded in the church records printed in Source:NEHGR, vol. 57, which is, of course, impossible. If Joanna's age at death is correct, it would appear the baptism dates may be correct. The births appear to have been recorded one year late. Besides Joanna, this has been noticed to affect her siblings Ephraim, Manasseh and Patience.]
