  3. ↑ A birth date of Dec 1696 puts her birth after her christening date, and obviously one of the dates is incorrect. But if she was born Dec 1695, then Elizabeth would have had to be born Nov 1694 (or earlier), which raises the question why she wasn't baptized when Joanna was baptized Dec 1694. Maybe Sarah was baptized the 11th month of 1696 (Jan 1696/97) and the transcriber slipped up, although that is a bit of a stretch.
