[Note: this record is listed between Abigail b. 1762 and Eunice b. 1765. The town clerk transcription above is wrong, and the original record is not available online to make a judgement about what part of it is wrong. But assuming 1753 was a best effort, the year is probably 1763 since that would be between Abigail and Eunice and could easily be misread as 1753. Mary is not shown in the Houghton Genealogy. 21 Nov 1773 would be a tight fit, possibly impossible, depending on when Harriet, whose birth was estimated by the Houghton Genealogy as 1775 and may well be 1774, was actually born.]
