  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 [Jrich note: It is not clear which is the valid birth date. The three records are recorded in different places in the records which makes it likely they are multiple recordings refering to a single event. 20 Dec 1755 suggests itself as possibly the correct one, 20 Sep 1755 being different only in month, and 20 Dec 1756 differing only in year, hence two single-error mis-recordings with that arrangement.

    Source:Olmsted, Henry King. Genealogy of the Olmsted Family in America, p. 194, mentions that Thomas, s/o Justus, is mentioned in his uncle Thomas' will [#4010]. His inventory is dated 4 Apr 1757, which doesn't rule out any of these possibilies, but unfortunately the date the will was written isn't given, since if it was written before the 1756 date, one possibility could be eliminated.]
