   '... JOHN TITUS, born about 1627 (aged 8 in April 1635) ... and buried at Rehoboth on 16 April 1689, ...'
   'It is often said online that Robert’s son John, eventual husband of Abigail Carpenter, was baptized at St. Katherine’s, London, on 18 December 1627. There is no basis for this, however: three London churches were dedicated to St. Katherine, and documentation is not found in the records of any of them.'
