'Martha Lovitt the daughter of Daniel Lovitt and Johanna his wiffe was borne the 4th mo. 7th, 1654.'
With two exceptions, the records for the earliest years (1643-1655) are written as day, month, year (e.g., '(16) (5th) 1646'), or are ambiguous (e.g, '5, mo. 7'). Although it would seem natural to associate 'mo.' with the first number in a format such as '5th mo. 8th', there is at least one record (on page 635) in which it is clearly associated with the second number: '(15)th. mo. (8th.) 1653'. Therefore, I have chosen to interpret all the early ambiguous dates as day, month, year, even though Savage did not always do so.

- ↑ This is an alternate interpretation of the VR (4th mo. 7th 1654), which Savage assumed. See note in citation for VR for why the birth date has been interpreted as 4 Sep 1654.
