    Children of Samuel Morse and Grace ---: Jonas, bp. Watertown 12 Oct 1703 [sic]
    [Note: this is a baptism, and so the fact that it is only 4 months after the baptism of Jacob, and the third 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, 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.]
