Powers Family : A Record of Walter Power of Concord, Massachusetts and Related Families, p. 19, reports apparently reports a birth of 7 Feb 1754, but an apparent typesetting error ("Feb.7, 1 1754") makes it unclear if it is 1 Feb, 7 Feb, or 17 Feb. In any event, as no record has been found to confirm this, only the baptism is known with confidence.
