    [Note: this sources gives the birth of Thanks as July 1651, not 1650 as found in the church records. If the church records are believed, Wait's birth as given here would need to be interpreted as 1648/49 (i.e., not the intuitive one week before the baptism), but no record of either her or Thanks' birth has been located. It is assumed the age at death here has been calculated, so not an independent fact.]
