He was listed separately on a tithe list in 1724, implying that he was at least 21 years of age by then (born by 1703).
He was mentioned in a deed in 1707, but neither of his brothers John or Warrington was mentioned, at least one of whom was likely born by then. It is possible that only he was mentioned because he was the eldest, or it may be because he had reached the age of 5, by which time it was assumed he had a good chance of surviving infancy.
