Timothy Day, b. _____, 1653, Gloucester, Mass; died April 8, 1723, Gloucester, Mass. Married July 24, 1679, Phebe, daughter of John & Priscilla (Gould) Wilde, of Topsfield, Mass., born about 1653, Topsfield, Mass; died April 8, 1728, Gloucester, Mass. She was imprisoned for witchcraft, in 1692.
[Note: no sources cited; some information questionable -- Timothy's birth place was not Gloucester. Date of death given is that given for his wife in Town Records; date of death given for Phebe questionable first because it differs from Town Records, second because it appears to be a typo of the death date attributed to Timothy.]

Timothy Day was b. in Gloucester in 1653, d. in 1723. He lived on the west side of the Annisquam River, was a soldier in King Philip's War.

Vol. 42, p. 273.
Phebe Wilde married Timothy Day of Gloucester, 24 July 1679.
In 1730, Timothy Day Deeded his Gloucester property to his son John for care and affection in his old age.
- ↑ There is no birth record for Timothy in Gloucester, and his parents were living in Exeter in 1653.
- ↑ There is no death date for Timothy in the Gloucester Town Records. There is a death date for his wife Phebe, 8 April 1723. This date has been cited for Timothy in unsourced compiled genealogies which are known to contain other incorrect information for Timothy's place of birth and/or Phebe's death (Tingley, Crapo, e.g.) That information has been copied by others without reference to original sources, including Torry, who is known to contain many errors. Babson states that Timothy's death date is unknown, and is also aware that Timothy was not born in Gloucester. That Timothy was alive after 1723 is evidenced by his signing a deed in 1730.
